We have added the process in the presentation before securing the idea, even though we were working on its proto type samples. The idea was being presented to the one of our esteemed customer by our marketing executive director. With in six months of time, the idea was being patented by our competitor, while we were testing it's proto type samples. It is of no use for us.

From that learning, it is being advised to protect your idea before it is exposed to the real world.
