@ Nicholas have seen the KTN show and if it premiered after the Citizen one then off course everyone would think it was dubbed from them. As Rad put it the execution of the idea is what really matters and in your friends case he already had a script and a demo then i think then we can say the idea was his and he just needs to prove it.<div>
<br></div><div>Does that mean then that no other station can do a show similar to his with changes here and there? What about applications at what stage would you acquire a patent for it? would it be a finished product or...</div>
<div><br></div><div>As others on the list have said, it boils down to <b>DONT </b>trust anybody, work on your idea and get it protected before showing it to anyone  else.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 1:09 PM, Joshua Twinamasiko G. <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:josht@joshtwin.com">josht@joshtwin.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

  <div> </div><i>What you can protect however is your execution.</i> 
  <div> </div></div>
  <div>Quite succinctly put by Rad. </div>
  <div> </div>
  <div>Perhaps we should focus on how to protect executed ideas (products and 
  services), as opposed to the theory of them. </div>
  <div> </div>
  <div>If you have mentioned an idea to someone without executing it, and 
  someone beats you to the execution, would you really be able to prove that you 
  had the original idea?<br>
