I can’t just make a patent or smth on word “hobabusa” and tell everyone that if they use it they have to pay me, right? Where is the border and how it is determined?
Can you, as an example, sue someone for making similar design of website? A complete copy but with different functionality?

The way the current legal framwork is written you can essentially do exactly this. Anyone can sue for breach of the copyright laws or the patent and trademark laws. And it does not require much proof to do this. Trademarks and patents needs to be registered at the patent office but this is a fairly simple process. It is then up to the defendant to prove that they did not violate these laws.
