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.''
