Every university has different laws regarding property rights of the student over his or her ideas. Some states make it illegal for your professor to steal your idea. Others make it illegal for you to profit on your idea at all, claiming that if you came up with it on university time, the university owns all rights to it, which is bullshit, but it's what companies almost universally do. Check your university rules and state laws to get a real answer OP if you're serious about this question.

interesting. thank your for that response.
what terms should I look for in that regard? all I can found regarding plagiarism is more directed towards students who try to cheat on assignments, and not on their own rights of their intellectual property.

Stuff like that is intentionally left ambiguous. You need to have a sit down in person with a higher up, call a lawyer, or go to a courthouse.

You can't. If it's that big of an idea the least of your worries is your professor, there is likely someone already working on it or close to it.

Don't just sit on your idea work on it.

>>8080441
If it's for a class you can take advantage of university equipment to develop your idea, either for a paper or real invention and get a head start on people. Seriously this happens a lot.

theres no need to do anything. University professors are miles up their own arse, they never take anything done by an undergraduate seriously.

Sometimes /sci/ lets me know how great my education was with all of their absurd horror stories about academics.

I fucking hate this, but almost every major company as well as university has this is some sort of ambiguous writing, and then their expensive ass lawyers know exactly how to rape you in court with it, if it ever makes it there.
