how dose copyrighting work?

Question

i have a great idea for a thing, but i need my mate to make it work. how would this affect the copyright? and how secure would the copyright be?

Answer 1

You need to consult a specialist solicitor. From what you've said, this may fall under the tenets of Intellectual Property or a patent as opposed to just copyright. There is a difference, and if it's a good idea, you should consult a professional.
