Are services patentable?

[Abarguy]

I have what I think is an awesome idea for a service and without getting into details about my idea I need to know how to protect it. Maybe patent isn't the right protection for a service. If not, what is? Can anyone help me? Thanks, Tom

I think the term or type of protection you are seeking is Trade Secret. You should speak to an intellectual property attorney near you. You can find one at attorneypages
