I have a great idea that would help out with infants and toddlers. My idea is still in the design faze but I will have a prototype within a few weeks. I was looking into getting a patent on this idea but was informed that I am better off pitching to a company and licensing because the company will move forward with the patent. I assume this is due to patents being costly with a chance of no return. Is it possible to move forward with a company without first patenting my idea? I have also found that I will need to discuss this with a potential buyer under a non-disclosure agreement. Will that give me adequate protection against the company if they decide to take the idea and cut me out? Thanks
