Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Wisconsin
Services
I am seeking to strike a deal with a company that is able to use my idea but I do not have a patent for my idea. Is there a way that I can show my idea to the company with out taking a chance of them taking my idea, possibley with a legal disclosure or statement? They require that I submitt my idea under the following terms.
''Proposals are accepted for initial evaluation only when they do not contain confidential or proprietary information not protected by copyright or
patent. Therefore, they must include a signed copy of the ''Confidential
Disclosure Disclaimer'' from this publication certifying that the unsolicited
proposal does not contain any confidential or proprietary information not
protected by copyright or patent. Unsolicited proposals that do not contain a signed copy of the disclaimer will be returned to the submitter.''

Their proposal is funky and red flags should be flying very high. I would not do business with them if they cannot or do not want to keep a secret or the next thing you know your idea will be mass produced and you will have zilch.
