Legal Challenges for Entrepreneurial Ventures is something I don't think about. Mostly because whenever realistic challenges begin to pile on against an idea I may have I end up trashing it and "coming back down to Earth."
One thing I found extremely interesting was the process of getting a patent and the basic rules you should follow. In starting a business alone I have never really associated the patent process as being a part of that process. However, after reading this section, I am baffled that I did not know this information sooner. There is nothing more precious than an idea and it's crazy to think that if not protected in the right way or covered to a certain extent your idea could be used by others, stolen, and fed off of.
There was nothing that was confusing to me but I would surely want to ask why information like this is only found out about through the textbook or taking the Entrepreneurship class. I feel like information like this should be taught and available in a much more open way. After all we live in a free market economy and surely we should be encouraged to create more and more businesses. Not knowing information like this could hinder and bar certain people from the ability to start a successful business whether it be small or have the potential to become a corporate giant.
This entire chapter was a learning process for me and so I don't believe the author was ever wrong. However, with more research I think I will be able to call out the author on a few things. If I can't I will just have to understand that sometimes it really is, "it is what it is."
