The same goes for patents, for example http://www.nolo.com/products/patent-it-yourself-pat.html (although the very fact that you think about patents to "secure intellectual property" betrays a naïveté about how those things work in real life. If you don't have tens of thousands of dollars (at a minimum) to spare for a patent lawsuit, then obtaining a patent is pointless).
