Nothing is good enough to protect intellectual rights.. If someone really wants to reverse engineer your app, they can do it.

Your best bet is to put some copyright statements in your code. Obfuscating will help a bit though, as you'd have to put some effort into reverse engineering, meaning that most people wont take the time to do it.

Another step could be to JIT compile it.

If you're creating a public API, make sure you have some great xml-comments on the public methods, or even better, don't obfuscate the parameters there :)
