You could also work on the idea into a Minumum Viable Product http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_viable_product  which you then patenr before sharing it. At least you will be protected by patent laws

Hi Skunks

A friend of mine tells me she submitted an idea on safcoms innovations a while back. It was marked as viable and suddenly the product was launched???!!!

Now so many queries arise from this situation as even the idea owner is not recognized as the owner, does it mean submitting an idea makes a Safcom product/deal, dont they seek a deal to involve you in the product from the idea and many more questions.

Simply put whats the protection to the owner of the idea or any legal take and are there no benefits from this? 

Assist here skunks!
