Question:
I have a list of dozens of products for a specific industry, which to date, has not been developed or recognized. My question is, how do I start a company and protect my ideas and who do I speak with re: mass producing these products. The products range from interactive software, to help/guidance/info books, to video games, to snack foods, to body products, to clothing, etc...all related to said industry. Many thanks in advance for all ideas/suggestions.
Answer:
I would start by obtaining a patent and/or copyright for your ideas. While it may take years for your patent to be approved, you will still have a patent pending (and retain rights) if in fact your patent does not already exist.
If you are looking for venture capital, or seeking a corporation out to embrace your idea, you should have the companies sign a non-disclosure agreement in advance of your meeting.
Here's a wiki on what's involved.
