First, you must protect
the code. You must have agreements with the developers, confirming that any
code they will develop working on your project is your sole property. This is a
must. You might want an attorney to draft the agreement. Copyright will protect
the code once it is created, you might get an official protection. However, you
will have to publish the source code, in this case.
Second, you must protect the trademark (this
can wait if you are low on cash). It has to be protected, otherwise someone
else can monetize on your success, nonetheless, you can protect it once your
software starts selling. However, I do recommend checking if the name is
available prior to naming your software, it might be painful to change the name
when the software is published.
Third, you can protect
some features of your software with patents. Patents are the main reason why
Microsoft is flourishing.
