✅ Answer:
Here’s the truth bomb: You can't copyright an “idea” itself in India. đ¶ What you can protect is how that idea is expressed or implemented.
But don’t panic – here’s your legal armoury before you enter the investor battlefield:
đ 1. Use a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA):
Make them sign it before you reveal your secret sauce đ. It’s your first line of defence!
