Legal Question in Product Liability in New York

Invention protection

Dear Sirs:

I have an idea of how to change a switch so that it will save money and also be environmentally benificial. I would like to submit it to a company that helps and supports people who have new ideas. How do I tell them the idea and still be protected against their using my idea without an agreement with me?

Thak you,
