No.
I have a unique idea, how it is protected?
We will not use that idea or circulate it around for our benefit but being a TV program the person has to be willing to share it in order to get it judged. We will not be able to take responsibility if anyone else copies it after seeing the show. Contestants are advised to do their patent/s or copyright/s filing accordingly at their own expense prior to show’s commencement. On the positive side, having an idea on TV might attract investment for them. Most of the times, ideas stay stuck as ideas, so it is up to you to decide if you want to share it to help get it started with guidance or hide it and hope one day you will be able to do it somehow...
