Hi everyone,


I have some pretty basic questions to ask. I have an idea which I want to pursue (Iphone App) and I'm looking for development.


What would be the first step in protecting the actual idea? Is there a certain patent I will have to create in order to protect the idea...in the event that I find a developer who runs with the idea on there own afterwards.


Also, how do you pursue investors (if required) on a bright idea in order to seek funds/investment in the project?


Thanks everyone!


Dan
