Your idea or business may have undiscovered Intellectual Property (IP): trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets are IP.  IP can be difficult to identify, and if you dont know what IP you have, it can be almost impossible to protect.

• Have you shared your secret recipe for success, whether that is an actual recipe, formula, approach or way of doing business-or another type of secret-with people outside your trusted circle without any protection?
• If you keep lists of customers and related information, do you limit the access to this information to those who truly need to know and protect this information with a password?
• Do you plan to present your ideas for your product or process to potential investors like bankers or venture capitalists in the future?
• Do you have a name or logo for your business that is unique and not yet registered, trademarked, or protected with a copyright?
• Do you have employees that have not signed agreements to keep your ideas secret?
