Can I sue for a business idea?

Asked on Mar 04th, 2013 on Business Law - South Carolina
More details to this question:
I introduced a video concept to some photographer friends as a colaboration. They did bankroll my idea, but after the first year, I was told that my services were no longer needed. Now, they are using the concept I came up with and running away with it. Do I have any recourse?

You will really need to discuss the details with a business litigator. You may have a "de facto" partnership and/or you may have other grounds to sue them. The details and any corroberating documentation will make all the difference. Ideas, without copyright, trademark, or patent registration are not protectable, but your matter may fall under different legal theories.
