Is your Idea Original or Not?

Today I was reading an article online about stealing ideas and originality. The author bought up a really good about originality. Do originality really exist? Is there a such thing of new ideas?  All ideas come from somewhere. Right?

It's important to do some research before presenting your ideas to the world. Ask your

self: "Has this idea been done before?" Is there a patent out there? What makes my idea so different from others?  All I can say is RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH. You cannot do enough research. The more you research the less of a chance you will get sued.

We all know an idea come from somewhere. But make sure your ideas are original, unique and different.
