Patent, kind of, except your analogy is turned around. Copyright protects literature, and patent protects inventions. Thus:

copyright:literature::patent:invention

OR

literature:copyright::invention:patent

How do you get an invention copy written?

The question is unclear. Do you mean a copyright? As you know, A copyright applies to literature, music, art, and Damatic Arts (Plays) So, Do you want to apply for a patent for an invention or innovation? If so, go on-line (google logical choice of words) to find the steps you need to complete before contacting the Patent office. You must have a working prototype, but of course you know this already. But I do not know what the research you have to submit must show. Of course drawings. Perhaps the results of testing the product? Ok that should get you started.
