First, get "prior art" which for copyright, trademark, or patent purposes is proof that you thought of it first. I am not a lawyer, but if you write it down and send it to yourself, maybe a registered letter, left unopened, or an Email, might be enough to establish you as owner.
But that won't help until somebody steals it, and you hire expensive lawyers to sue them. If you already have a lawyer for general stuff, maybe sending him a copy would suffice.
Is this something you'd put on a T-shirt or sign? Get a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement with your printer. And don't use one in China! Not that you would.
You're welcome. You don't have to send me my 1% until you've made at least one million yourself.
