When submitting a unpatented idea to a company you should make sure you have a signed nondisclosure from the company prior to submitting your material. Also, doing most of your communications through email gives you tangible evidence of contact, names and dates of contact established between you and the company. This also gives you emails stating their intentions to move forward with your invention or to state that they are not interested.

If you don't already have pending status, and you are convinced that you would only be interested in U.S. rights, you may offer evidence of a proactive publication for your project to potetially interested parties. This would imply that only you can be granted IP rights to the project.
Doing this would be an advantage with companies that don't sign NDA's, because it states the you mean business. For this reason, a proactive publication should be devised carefully. It's also important to note that the existence of a publication would not supersede an agreement by the inventor to accept specific royalty terms, upon submitting a disclosure to a particular company.

C'mon, Mojo.
This forum isn't meant for open discussions.
Don't take it personally. I'm just trying to keep the mood light, and I wasn't even suggesting that you broke any rules.
The idea is to keep starting new topic questions in this forum.
Eventually, anyone can come here and a get all the answers they need, from a number of different perspectives, without having to read through a bunch of dialogue.
