What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Maine
I put an idea online over ten years ago. Someone has picked up on this and is developing it. It's pretty big, sort of along the line of the Facebook fiasco. I thought about contacting the CEO and seeing if I could get a sign off for a small amount of money. I think I could find witnesses, maybe screen shots...Not being greedy just pretty poor and feel like I should get a little compensation. Going public could make a bit of a rumble, however I don't want the individual to feel threatened in the least...I thought about trying to get them through compassion since I am pretty sure they picked this up directly...and it's sort of along the lines of being at a party and telling a bunch of people about this world changing idea you have, and then find out years later someone who was there is pursuing it....THoughts?
Basically I'm thinking if I can contact them, and they did run with the idea, they might set something up ...is it worth a shot?
