You can patent inventions, but you can copyright ideas.
Basically, things that can be used can be patented, things in print, or in other media form, can be copyrighted.

No, you cannot copyright an idea. Only the written/recorded form of it. There''s nothing to stop someone reading it and implementing it themselves.
