Invention is a unique or novel device, method, composition or process. It may be an improvement upon a machine or product, or a new process for creating an object or a result. An example of this would be The dual flush loo, It has two buttons to dispatch different amounts of water from the cistern - a half-flush for liquid waste and a full one for more heavy-duty deposits. It was designed and produced in 1980.
Innovation is the development of new customers value through solutions that meet new needs, inarticulate needs, or old customer and market needs in new ways.
Patent is a form of intellectual property. It consists of a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time, in exchange for the public disclosure of the invention.
Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original product rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other related rights.

A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a distinctive sign or indicator used by an individual, business organization, or other legal entity to identify for consumers that the products or services on or with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source, designated for a specific market, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities.

Protecting business ideas is mostly positive, as otherwise someone may steal your idea and make money themselves, this would be happening all the time if copyright laws weren't in place as people would try and take the idea for their own Benifit this is one of the negatives of having copyrights as you cannot develop someone elses idea as they will think you will make more profit. Overall the positives overpower the negatives as in my opinion you should think of your own ideas in order to make money and not just steal someone elses.
