But they took down notes with out my consent and wrote down the whole conversation they said the phone call would not be recorded then later my idea that this major company wrote down was used and displayed as there product as ask why are you taking down notes i said i didn't say you can take that he told me it is not a problem that i took down notes i called and ask why is my exact same idea being used by your company he said he was smart enough to write down my idea and he doesn't know how they used it but wouldn't acknowledge it and email i sent and then i sent asking them why they did this too the president of the company then they replied back saying they will sue me if i even ask them again??
what kind of nonsense can i record them in this matter??? and sue them instead??
Taking ntes is not wiretapping. If you feel your idea has been stolen, speak to an IP attorney to discuss the exact nature of your situation and to receive legal advice . Stop communicating with the company. Let a lawyer do it if necessary.
Taking notes does not require your consent. You can sue anyone you want. You just have to have a viable case and a whole lot of money to pay your attorneys. I don't think you have a case here. You need to have an attorney present your position. It sounds like you have some type of IP dispute and you have been proceeding without counsel, which puts you in at a terrible disadvantage. I suggest that you contact an experienced trademark attorney to advise you and help you to secure your registration. Many Trademark firms, like our own offer a free initial consultation by phone, video conference, or in person if you are local. I suggest that you select a firm and request a free consultation regarding your case.

Taking notes is not recording a call and ideas themselves are not protected. You were careless enough to divulge your idea without contractual protection such a confidentiality agreement or a non-compete, and so they are not forbidden from using that idea in any way they wish. It may be sleazy or sneaky but it is not illegal.
Having said that, if your idea is something protectable by patent or copyright they might have a problem attempting to file on it as you might be able to assert yourself as the creator, but you need to retain IP counsel to analyze this issue and properly advise you.
