Copyright is a bundle of rights automatically ascribed to the creator of a work of sufficient originality, giving them the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, perform, or display the work, or authorize others to do so, for a limited time.
When people say "copyright considerations," they're just talking generally about the agreements and permissions required in using others' protected works.

How can you get patent for your script?
If by "script" you mean "screenplay", you can't get a patent on it. You should be trying to get a copyright. Technically, if your script has been written, it's already protected by U.S. copyright law. Once any original work of authorship is fixed into any tangible medium (in this case, once it's written down), it is protected by copyright. However, to get many substantive protections, you should register your work with the U.S. Copyright Office (see related links). For clarification, you can also see the related links for explanations of the difference between copyright and patent.

should fashion be protected by copyright law?
That's a hot topic. The argument for protection is that it's definitely creative work, and the arguments against protection seem to be that clothing consists of "useful articles" which are not protected, and (strangely) that knock-offs are an important part of the industry. As it stands now, your sketches of a dress are protected, but the dress itself isn't. Some designers get around this by registering certain elements as trademarks, or attempting to get design patents for particular aspects of their work. A comprehensive history of this argument in the US is available from the Copyright Office, linked below.
