Here in Italy we use this system for music and such:
the author sends a copy of his work to himself in
a sealed envelop, to keep in some safe place once received.
It is a sort of escamotage when you don't want to pay the subscription
fee to SIAE, the Italian society of authors and editors. I think
it should also work for your ideas, but you'd better verify before.
By the way, wouldn't be nice a website or something similar
only devoted to publish people's ideas in order to prevent anyone
to claim a patent on it? Anyone knows if such a thing already exists?
