Re: Protecting a marketing idea if you're not a marketer

In addition to copywrite, I would also do the old poor mans copywrite and mail the idea to yourself, make sure you get a postmark and keep it sealed when you receive it.

Yes, there are things you can do to protect yourself. Besides copyrighting your creative work, you would want the company to whom you desire to share this idea execute a confidentiality agreement.
