Same exact thing happened to Gene Roddenberry. He pitched the Star Trek idea to CBS first. They picked his brains for several hours about how he could make something on such a small budget. He answered all their questions and they said no thanks and goodbye. They then came out with Lost In Space using many of the filming and set aspect that Roddenberry had told them he was going to use for Trek.
Roddenbury didn't sue them... he couldn't have. He just went on to product a World Wide phenomenon that has spanned 5 TV series and 10 movies.
