Question
Dear Sir or Madam,
We are a group of IT Professionals based in Nottingham. We are developing products and mobile apps in the HTech/Private Health Monitoring sector. We would like to facilitate the final stages of development and the market launch of a new product with a crowdfunding service.
We have received some advice from other entrepreneurs that crowdfunding is often advised against due to Intellectual Property concerns. How do we effectively protect our IP before and during a crowdfunding campaign? What exactly could be the problem!
Thank you very much for your advice.
Sincerely,
A. Hampton

To put into context the advice given by Jing, you may find this article featuring the case of the start-up Aurora Labs interesting - they pulled their campaign out of Kickstarter due to IP concerns.
