Hi all
My sister and I are in the process of establishing a website - it would be classified as a "hobby" at this point in time - with a view that there are endless possibilities as to where it may head.
Wish there was was a crystal ball to determine how things will pan out, however I was wondering if we need to be doing something to protect our idea?
I have already checked whether we could have an ABN to give it more formality - however "hobbyists" cannot have an ABN - which is totally understandable as it is not a business.
Other considerations include:
- We have registered a ".com", but we were wondering if we should register other domain names with ".com.au" ".net" ".org" etc? Because there may be a possibility that people may misuse the name of the website;
- Should there be a copyright/trademark (I am in process of researching these)?
Would like to hear your thoughts!
Thanks
Mona
