Only certain forms of IP are worth protecting (trade secrets such as customer lists, designs against counterfeiters, and trademarks for reputation). Patents only if the potential global market is worth 100M + and you need significant sunk investment. An idea (software/business process) by itself is not worth much without the execution and more important traction I believe it was Drucker or Buffet who said that a core competency (or competitive moat) is that even when you tell everyone, they can't duplicate it.
