| Description | This chapter reviews the types of legal claims that a plaintiff might consider when his or her idea has been used or disclosed without compensation. In most cases, contract law serves as the basis to enforce a legal obligation to pay for using an idea. Usually, contract claims are based on the defendant's breach of an express or implied promise to pay for the idea. In addition, under the appropriate circumstances, a plaintiff might consider a claim for unjust enrichment or breach of confidential relationship between the parties. Finally, a few jurisdictions continue to recognize valuable ideas as property, allowing plaintiffs to pursue a claim for misappropriation. Book Name: Intellectual Property and the Law of Ideas |
