Can I submit a brilliant idea to a big company like Audi?

I have this great idea that can totally change the driving experience and i know it can be done. Do you think a big company like Audi will receive my idea and maybe create de object? (of course i want some profit out of it)

Thanks,

And since I doubt you want to pay for a patent lawyer to help you get the idea into writing - you're likely not gonig to be paid for your idea unless you work for Audi (or other brand).



However, Im sure if you send their research and development team an email about this idea, they'll likely look into it if its viable.Can I submit a brilliant idea to a big company like Audi?
You could, go to their website and try to find a way to contact them.....it'd have to be pretty good for them to notice it and make sure you sound professional and if you're a kid, don't misspell because that's a turn-off for CEOs.Can I submit a brilliant idea to a big company like Audi?Patent your idea first, otherwise they will just say they are not interested, but go ahead and use the idea claiming it was theirs.Can I submit a brilliant idea to a big company like Audi?
The other answers are correct

without a patent they will steal your idea if they like it

with a patent they may not want to pay you though.... so they may just not take the idea...

But its only worth your time if you have a patentCan I submit a brilliant idea to a big company like Audi?I agree with getting a patent and be famous for it! Go Audi!
