Once you file for a patent, you can put a patent pending on the item. This give some protection for limited time (I believe 2 years, but need to look it up) this establishe an official invention date. It cost a lot of money to file for a patent, so it better be worth its while. Just about anything can be patent, but if it can be proven to have prior claim, ti can just as easily be annulled. New application of old idea can be patentable. The trick to writing a patent is to write it broad enough to cover a lot without being too broad. It is easy to get it annulled if it is too general(because it is easy to prove prior claim) write it fairly specifically, but broad enough to cover your industry and keep the competition from using it.

I am not a patent lawyer, but I stayed at holiday inn express last night. so don't quote me.

I do have patent application in on something I did at work, so I do have some experience with it.
