Case Design Idea -- any advice?

I have a design for a case design that I think very well could disrupt case design for the forseeable future. (As hyperbolic as that might sound I believe it might be true.) I've done some rough 3d modeling of it in sketchup and now I need to figure out a way of turning it into a product without having it cloned before I can ever get it there. Which means I need to get people involved but protect my design. Can you use a 3D general concept model as "prior art?" And how would I go about protecting myself?

Actually... that's part of the "disruptive" aspect. It should be adaptable to any size. It's almost completely modular.

No. Not even sure what kind of lawyer would be required.

What I'd really like to do is just figure out how to get with a company that already makes PC cases and just give them the idea and take 10% :)

You should probably talk to a Patent lawyer, or at least file for one... http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/getting-patent-yourself-29493.html

 

Apparently it's still like $1500 to file even without a lawyer....
