Re: I Have A Great Idea For A Business, What Do I Do Now?
[ QUOTE ]
The problem here is, it seems to me that it would be hard to get intellectual property protection on it because it is a type of service. I don't think it is possible to "patent" or "copyright" an idea for a service. But without intellectual property protection couldn't they just take the idea anyway and not compensate me?

I think this is pretty much correct, but that doesn't mean you have to keep a tight lid on the idea until you implement your plan. You can't patent the service once you've got it started either. If it's truly a great idea with alot of earning potential, there's no way of stopping someone with more resources than you from doing it also.
