The answer is yes.

If your plan is to start marketing your invention, then I suggest you obtain patent protection.

If you intend to keep your invention until it is fully tested, you might consider seeking protection under industrial secrets law. This decision depends in part on how much longer will it take to fully develop your product and what�s the likelihood that someone else will come up with something similar before you do.
