Starting a Start-Up
It is my opinion, that if you're starting a start-up, one of the best things you can do is to read "Running Lean" by Ash Maurya. It's a great book geared toward helping people start and run a web-application, but the concepts are great for any start-up. If you have any Intellectual Property ("I.P.") concerns, think about is contacting an I.P. lawyer. It's probably better to do this earlier than later since there are some aspects of law that run on a time limit and many attorneys offer a free consultation.
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the land.
