Gather up everything about this idea - your notes on it, your plans for it, drawings if you have (or need) them, your marketing plan - and put it into a sealed envelope (or box). Take it to the post office and mail it to yourself certified mail - get a receipt and insure it - when it comes make sure you sign for it and do NOT open it. Just tuck it away in the closet somewhere (make sure you label it properly so others will know what it is and not to open it).
Good luck Dokk!

In any ? dispute you will need to prove prior art in other words you can up with the idea before anyone else. Sending a certified envelope to yourself is one way another is to send it to a lawyer as well have it notarized and sealed if possible and include the front page of a newspaper to prove the date. Good luck you have a long haul ahead of you.
