Shrini, How can I protect my work from patented by someone?
I forgot to add this... Though ideas can't be patented but it could be protected via copyrights. To claim copyrights there are various ways like publishing it etc. I met a gentleman,he told me that he put his creative work in to a packed registered letter and sent to his own address. Once it came home he received it with the packaged seal and kept it. He claimed that this way tomorrow any dispute comes he can show it to the courts. Copyrights dispute could be very costly.I must share this info I was just reading to our honorable forum members about a genius who was forgotten. Adam Osborne (a pioneer in the PC Industry- Father of today's PC and Laptop?) and how he lost a legal dispute with Lotus1-2-3 for the spreadsheet he created. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/03/25/portable_computer_pioneer_adam_osborne/ http://naturalscience.com/ns/news/news44.html http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2005/pulpit_20050616_000856.html I salute this forgotten soul and I am surprised he lived (early part of his life) and died (later part of his life) in Tamil Nadu.
