Inventions start out as ideas, and are highly susceptible to thievery.
The need for invention protection begins the moment you get the idea. Time is critically important to establish and protect your rights to your invention. Occasionally, two or more inventors are working on the same invention at about the same time. Whoever can prove having conceived the invention first will usually get the patent, while the second inventor gets nothing. For this reason, you should record your invention as quickly as possible .
