Currious about something that some of you professionals might know.
If I have an idea that might work for an already existing business, then
what do I need to do?
For example, if I have an idea for a partner store that would work for a
Starbucks or McDonalds, but it would only work using their name or part of
their name, then do I have a case for making a profit? Or, once I share the
idea with them, do they for all intents and purposes own the idea?
Am I allowed to own the idea myself? Am I capable of marketing the idea to
them using part of their stores name?
I know that I could not open the store myself using part of their name. That
much is obvious. Just currious if I am allowed to market the idea to them
and own part or all of that creative process.
Hope this makes sense.

Sure, an idea is yours to own, "until" you tell someone else, or they
get the idea on their own
Am I capable of marketing the idea to
them using part of their stores name?
It's possible, you have a 1 in 100,000,000 chance of making a "few"
dollars on it, but you are at the mercy of that company, it depends on
the ethics of the owner of the company, there are a few who do things ,
not because they are "just" legal, but because they are the right thing
to do.
Basically ideas are "worthless", Every human gets ideas, many even get a
few good ones, a few get great ones, but even the great ones are
worthless, unless you have the skills, and/or money to put them into
practice
I know that I could not open the store myself using part of their name. That

Your "allowed" to market anything that is legal, now is there any kind
of legal protection you can get for an "idea" like this ? I would think
not, unless someway you could "trade mark" the name, and that would be
near impossible in this case, since it contains another trade marked
name in it, and you would have to be doing business under that name.
Hope this makes sense.
Of course it does, I get questions like this every day, Most of the
people out there "think" ideas have worth. There are companies, and even
lawyers who make millions off of the backs of people with "just" ideas,
few, almost none, of those with ideas alone,( less than 1 in 10,000,000)
make any money at all.

Your questions make sense. Variations of them arise every day in
ways that often can be transmuted into mutually profitable answers.
But they cannot be answered the abstract "one size fits all"
sense you appear to want much less in a way that will be practical and
dependable for you.
If what you refer to as your ideas do not include how to exploit
them in a businesslike manner which, absent agreement, will not
infringe on another's trademark or other proprietary rights, they will
require negotiating with authorized representatives of the would be
"partner" enterprise bearing in mind that the very notion "partner"
presumes agreement and re. which there also can be any number of
confidentiality preservation alternatives.
But how to do this also depends on the particular nature of
whatever may be what you refer to as the idea and on the "partner
store" in question.
To the degree that you may be serious and also want to be
realistic, there accordingly will not be an effective way for you to
proceed without carefully considered professional advice based on the
particulars of whatever it may be that you have in mind.

Your idea is not protectable by the laws concerning patents, trademarks,
copyrights or trade secrets. That leave only contract law. That means you
need to get the recipient of the idea signed up to a non-disclosure
agreement. Then you reveal it the idea. If you reveal it before getting
their signature on the non-disclosure agreement, you have given the idea
away.
This answer must not be relied on as legal advice for the reasons posted

Hi,
I don't really get the question, perhaps if you go into more detail as
to what you've created, you don't have to tell us what it is, just a
better example.
From what I can gather you've created something that would be an add
on business to an already successful business?
My question to you would be why does it have to be for just that
business?
I also don't get why it has to incorporate the name of the company to
work?
If you've invented a product or service surely it can be named
whatever you want it to be.

I did find one of the great Money Making things I have every seen in
my life. It costs $5 dollars to get started. This is the most
amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. -YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT UNTIL
YOU SEE IT. I have been doing it for less than 10 days and I am
already making $20 dollars a month in residual income, not a lot, but
it continues to go up everyday.
