: According to one of the many responses, a person is not able to copyright an idea only print and/or written material. My question then is if you have an idea that would benifit a major company how can you present your idea to them without the risk of it being taken and used as if it were their idea?
You are between a rock and a hard place. Unless you can get an iron bound confidentiality agreement before you talk you are in trouble. The bigger the company the more likely they are to refuse to listen and sign such an agreement. If you write or call what you usually get if form to sign which I call a Waiver of the American Flag. You sign it and you have given everything away.
