It's worth more than 8.3 cents, but, consider it a public service.

There's only one reason to have a CA in my bidness (the sell side) and that's to protect an already viable company's market share when it decides to put itself up for bid in a confidential auction process. The arrogance of seed stage entrepreneurs in thinking they need to protect something whose IP is either patentable, or it's not (and there's your “protection,” or not), is risible.
