If your idea is possible to describe with technical details, has some innovative advantages, know-how, any other peculiarities that makes it special then either:

(1) patent it with USPTO which could take time and require some financial resources,

or at least

(2) write-up very detailed description, print it and send it to your own address and never open the envelope - doing so you will protect the idea with the priority date on the envelope just in case of possible legal dispute in the future.

What protects option 2?

[–] SerenDipiosa@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It is the least expensive method to protect any TECHNICALLY DESCRIBED IDEA IN A WRITTEN FORM as long as you don't open the envelope. Only when a legal dispute happens the court will open the envelope and thus determine the idea really belongs to the claimant, owner of the envelope.
