That which believes that an idea is a work of genius and therefore can be claimed as one's own and can be protected by copyright. This is not the case : unless the idea is truly original and patented, if someone "steals your idea" they have not committed plagiarism and cannot be reported. Indeed, the very concept of idea theft is laughable, and let's see why. What is uniquely identifiable, and therefore claimable as one's own and protectable, is not an idea, but the implementation . the realization of an idea. So you can't have invented the recipe for pasta with ragù.
You can take a photo of the pasta with ragù made by you, and that is yours and protected by copyright. Or you can write a recipe, and what you write can be protected by copyright, but it will have to be elaborate enough photo editor to be considered original and in recipes, for example, it is really difficult to be original anymore. We cannot claim paternity of the aquarists' forum let's hope Google doesn't index me on this, it was just to give an example because anyone can open it, and if they like, they can give it the same structure as the existing ones.
Even large companies have difficulty patenting interfaces: Microsoft Word is copied by many other software, and so are most software, but as can be easily verified, clones only collect the crumbs of the success of the original versions. So: ideas alone are worthless. If you want to protect an idea, make it happen. That creation will be original and not copyable. I can create a hundred unrealized ideas a minute. What can be plagiarized: Photos, images, texts, music, source codes.
