📜 How to Legally Protect Your Business Idea in India:

🔹 Sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement):
📝 This is your legal “shhh” contract
✅ Used before discussing ideas with investors, developers, partners
✅ Ensures they won’t disclose or misuse your idea

🔹 Protect Intellectual Property (IP):
⚙️ If your idea includes a product, logo, tagline, process—register:
✅ Trademarks for brand names/logos
✅ Copyrights for written material or code
✅ Patents for inventions or processes

🔹 Use Founders' Agreements:
🤝 Clarifies idea ownership, equity split, and future exits
✅ Prevents “I thought of it first” wars later

🔐 Pro Tip:
While you can’t copyright an “idea,” you can copyright the expression of it—like pitch decks, documentation, product blueprints, etc.

⚖️ Why This Matters:
✅ Keeps your edge safe
✅ Builds investor confidence
✅ Prevents betrayal by partners
✅ Helps in legal claims if the idea gets “borrowed” 😉
