Ideas are not protected under intellectual property laws. You would need to keep your ideas secret (or only disclose the idea to people that sign a non-disclosure agreement) until the idea is put into a concrete form that can be protected.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
