If I had a new idea or two and had no provisions for such build ing these, can I sell the idea without exposing it? How would I do such a thing?
Example:
A company makes a product that I feel is inadequate. I devise a way to improve the product and boost the sales of said product and notify them of my findings. They are very interested, but I have no patent; cannot afford one.
How is this to be handled so as the said company cannot make said product as per my detailed instructions without just compensation?
What steps can be made to protect my ideas yet still permit the company access to my discovery for inspection?
