Patenting a mud concept isn't really viable due to the expense, but you could get potential staff members to sign an NDA if you were really that concerned.
Personally I'm not really too worried - the idea is going to be made publically available sooner or later anyway, and if other people have the skill to implement it, why shouldn't they? As I'm sure you've heard many times before, there aren't really any original ideas any more, just new spins on old ones.
Besides, if the idea is particularly difficult to implement then people are unlikely to duplicate it anyway - those with the ability to do so usually have their own ideas which they are working on.
