Ben, Your best bet is to obfuscate your code. As several people have demonstrated here, it is not possible to keep anyone who is even remotely determined from getting your code, but you can prevent them from understanding and reusing it. This is by far the best technique I have seen used.
There are several companies out there that have entire business models partially riding on Javascript code (ad serving companies, site trackers, etc) and they typically do an extremely thorough job of obfuscating their code. If all of your variables are named with a combination of random characters and hundreds of lines of script calling dozens of interwoven functions are all moved onto a single line with no whitespace at all, you code is pretty safe.
