Hypothetical question that floated up in my mind:
When doing a new product pitch to a company (say you have an idea for a new type of widget and you want to pitch it to BigWidgetCo), what kind of IP protection would you reasonably expect to need when doing this?
Is there some sort of reasonable expectation of protection that would already exist?
Should you pursue an NDA?
Should you totally CYA and get all the IP protection (trademark/copyright/patent) you can before you pitch (even if the product is just on the drawing board)?
