Dear Professor Vacariu

My name is Michael Rapaport. You may remember me from TV shows like Prison Break or Boston Public, or one of the over 60 movies I have starred in. Your plight is not uncommon - the copyright and patent system simply does not protect ideas to the degree it needs to in the modern world. I, along with some other heavy hitters in Hollywood, who are sick of having screenplays, jokes, and characters stolen without recourse, are developing a solution.

The product is called ideaID. We are leveraging neural nets and machine learning against a huge dataset of various concepts, philosophies, pitches, etc. Each is labeled, until we can find distinct signatures in each idea that are unique when weighed against any other. This signature is committed to a registry along with the holder of the ideas name, we call it the ideaIDkey. The neural network ensures ideas that are evolved or iterative are not detected, but once an idea is too similar, it is flagged.

We welcome the academic and philosophy communities with open arms. Please contact me, let's collaborate ASAP. Thanks for bringing this issue out into the open as well.
