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.
