Walt Disney originally invented Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but, he did not get the patent for the cartoon, so another person got the patent and commercial rights to Oswald. Walt Disney and his patent Iwerks then came up with Mickey Mouse, and this time they got the patent and the commercial rights to their invention.

Oswald has only ever been referred to as Mickey's "half brother" in the Epic Mickey video game. This is because they share a common father in Walt Disney -- but Oswald was temporarily separated from the family when his other father, Charles Mintz, left the Walt Disney company and took Oswald with him. Mintz had nothing to do with Mickey's creation, which is why they are only "half" brothers.
