Good Afternoon to all, I'm developing a spreadsheet to calculate insurance rates for a large client. Within the spreadsheet are some highly proprietary algorithms that I developed that describe the relationships between costs and "richness" of benefits.My client believes this spreadsheet/program will have some definite commercial value upon completion. So basically I need to think about intellectual property protection. Therefore I have two questions:
Any advice on the simplest way to provide some degree of intellectual property protection on a spreadsheet or the algorithms within the spreadsheet? Any way to create a "splash screen" or some legal notice that pops up whenever the program is opened? And the user cant continue without acknowledging the notice?
