OPINION

PER CURIAM.

I. INTRODUCTION

This case raises issues concerning the protection of ideas. It arises out of John Reeves' claims that in 1991 Alyeska Pipeline Service Company (Alyeska) appropriated his idea for a visitor center at a popular turnout overlooking the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. The superior court granted summary judgment to Alyeska. We reverse in part and remand for further proceedings.
