Lets say something like a fictional concept that was made by the author; for example a lightsaber. The author george lucas may come up with it. If you go out and make it completely function (emphasis on completely) lightsaber, is that your's? Can you patent it? or is it still owned by george even his work is fiction?
This applies to other things like terran marine armor, batman car etc.
