Need to be a patent application for the code, even log . There is a law for this called : trademarks. Not copyright

Focus on the big market, like the US, Japan, etc. when you want to register any trademarks, copyrights, or patents but keep in mind that even the domain needs a trademark-like website for the game.

For a smaller developer is good to focus on local jurisdiction. -source : Andrew F. Thomas
