A patent is a protected intellectual property right which can only be granted to those who have a creative idea (an invention) and are willing to share it with the public.  This is why the patent application process is very rigorous, because it takes much more than an idea to earn a patent.  There are other creative works that can be protected using trademark law or copyright law.
