Dear Concerned,

As per settled law, mere idea is not capable of being patented and its the process which is to be patented. However, your case might get covered provided certain other parameters fit thereto. For this, it is advisable that you take a personal consultation.

There is no copyright in an idea.Prior use of an idea in a patent can be fought on limited grounds.Designs again the story is same.You need to be more specific.Advice can be given on case to case basis in case you are really hurt.
