Protecting Web Design Ideas Copyright

Do you think that there is any chance of successful protecting idea copyright? Does an idea always needs to be patented in order to protect it?
I came across a few unique ideas in my head... I think they are unique, well, at least I haven't seen anything similar since ever. As everything on this word these ideas base on something that already exist, but I took the things a step forward.
I have described these ideas in the file which I have included into the copy of the complete project in order to register and secure the copyrights.
But I wonder are there any chances to defeat my copyright in a case when someone get "inspired" by my design. Let's say he won't copy my files but he will create similar work on his own + some changes. He will rip my idea which I have already invented before him.
Do I have any chances to win against him claiming my copyright to legal authorities?
