patents and copyrights
Patents and copyrights protect a person's works and ideas. Copyrights basically are a claim on the idea/work you have created, so long as it hasn't been taken. However, you will want to file a patent because it is a bit more official and doesn't have a time limit, unlike the copyright. Neither copyright nor patents protect the idea. Copyrights protect the expression of the idea and patents protect the method or implementation of an idea or process. So the idea of a wizard school where young students learn about magic is not protected by copyright but the specific characters and features created by a specific author are protected. With patents it is similar. The idea of a water purifier cannot be patented. But a specific working method for purifying water can be patented.
