There are a few different ways that you can protect an invention using trade secrets: First and foremost, you should always keep the invention a secret. Do not tell anyone about it or show it to anyone unless absolutely necessary. If you do have to tell someone or show someone, make sure that you have a non-disclosure agreement in place beforehand. If you do have to tell someone about the invention, be as vague as possible. Do not give away any details that could allow someone to recreate the invention. Be careful when filing for patents. If you file for a patent, your invention will become public knowledge. If you do not want your invention to become public knowledge, you should not file for a patent. If you do file for a patent, make sure that you have a strong patent application. If your patent application is weak, it is more likely that someone will be able to recreate your invention. Keep good records of your invention. Document everything about the invention, from the initial idea to the final product. This will help you prove that you are the true inventor of the invention if someone tries to steal it.

"Licensing Expo hosts many of the world's top brands. Having previously licensed my name to the grill and other products, I'm excited to network with others in the industry," said two-time world heavyweight boxing champion George Foreman. "I'm very happy InventHelp has asked me to join them at the Expo." George Foreman has been encouraging inventors to "Call my friends at InventHelp!" since 2014. He has appeared in several commercials representing the InventHelp brand and attended several other InventHelp events. "George is a great partner and friend," said Robert Susa, President of InventHelp. "I'm thrilled our partnership is evolving and George will be meeting with fellow businesspeople and important licensing representatives at this year's Licensing Expo. George has a strong interest and knowledge of the invention industry and is a leader in the field of product licensing."
