Actually, copyright is very easy.  As soon as you create a copyrightable item,
it is copyrighted. A copyright can also be registered, but doesn't have to be.

see:

http://www.whatiscopyright.org/  Note the paragraph "Material provided by
others .."

Paul Lamar's drawings are his creations, and I respect his right to limit
reproduction of them.  It wasn't clear if he was objecting to them being used,
or being used without  attribution.

The patent process is lengthly and not so easy.

Note:  This is not a legal opinion, just my personal opinion based on past
study of the matter.  (Don't want to get in trouble with the legal profession!)
