Copying of business idea

Our business ideas are unique to us, would you allow someone else copy your business ideas even when you have been able to execute it?

When I have a good business idea, I just talk to a few friends I trust. I'd like to know their opinions. When the time is ripe, I would talk to potential investors. There is no guarantee that other people will not steal your idea.

For me I don't see anything bad in someone copying another fellow's business idea, so far you give credit and also seek permission as at when due, it is not a bad thing to do.

Well, the sky is big enough for everyone to fly. So I will allow but the person must be able to modify it a bit.

Well said, when you dont give the needed credit or acknowledgement, then it's no longer copying but stealing.

What if the person comes to you and ask for your permission to use the exact same idea without any modifications would you agree to it?

If we want to protect our business ideas, we can patent these things. In this way, no one is going to steal it. Although we cannot control some companies that can copy these things.

I will not allow anyone to copy my business idea. I will not take it. But I don't see anything wrong with it so we should be able to protect our businesses very well

It is very good to copy business idea because it is worth it when you have good business to copy.

Samsung and Apple did not manufacture the first smartphone. Yet these businesses are the two most successful smartphone makers. These days it is very common to take someone's business idea.

It is not wise to copy a business idea as long as it will be of benefit to your business

If you are not creative enough to generate sound business ideas, how would you be able to creatively generate solutions to problems you would face in the business. A copied business idea is a recipe for business failure.

I'm not sure if it is going to be any problem for someone to copy your business ideas because it is something that another person can equally come up with but he's own mode of running the business will be different from your own.

The challenge is not in copying the idea, the challenge is in being able to execute the idea. When someone brings up qn idea, he models a way of executing the idea which is peculiar to him. You would steal an idea and get confused along the way.

Hmm you have a valid point
A buaiwnss person should be able to create his own business idea

The thing is that with my own business, you can't copy my idea. It just would not work because my products are my creations.

cherry123 · Jul 15, 2024

i don't even think it is the best to copy business ideas as you might not be able to do the business effectively

As far as the idea is not patented, anyone is free to use them. If you want your idea not to be copied, you have to get patent for it.

Copying of someone else's business ideas so clearly won't spell success for your business. People would believe the business lacks creativity.
