Copyrights protect written or published material--books, magazine articles, photos and the like. Trademarks protect the name of a product. "Polaris", for example, is a registered trademark of Gibbs.
Patents protect the design, and if you think you can prove that your design is unique among all of the plugs that have ever been built, an original, never been done before work, run down to the patent office and try to patent it. You'll be whistling in the wind
