San Marcos, TX asked in Consumer Law for Texas

Q: How to get expert input while protecting my invention?

I have an Invention that would potentially solve a problem in a field unrelated to mine, so before moving forward with it too far I would like to ask an expert in this domain to make sure it is legitimate. what is the best way that I can protect my interests and prevent the said expert from stealing my idea?

A: Your post remains open for two weeks. A patent attorney could probably give you guidance on this. There's no guarantee that all questions are answered, but your question would have better chances of getting picked up in the Patent Law and Intellectual Property sections rather than the Consumer Law section. You could repost and add those categories. Good luck
