How do I sell my marketing concept to  large liquor company?  It has to do with using existing practices in an "outside of the box" thinking and marketing.

It would be a big seller, but I am not sure if the idea is patentable since the technology already exist.  

How do I sell the idea without them stealing it?

You can't.

So you might as well tell the rest of us...

Patent it. Then make them pay you for the privilege of using your patent.

Talk to a lawyer who specializes in intellectual property.  Gonna cost you, but it's a way to make sure your idea does not get "borrowed."

Copyright your idea, it is cheap and companies would rather pay you a paltry sum, than risk legal action.

A patent is a waste of money(typically close to $20,000) unless your idea is truly revlutionary
