How do you find a copy of a patent?

US Patents are issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Their home page list two search engines. One that lets you search for patents that have been issued, and one that lets you search for patents whose applications are pending. http://patft.uspto.gov/ A number of Patent related web sites provide links to Patent Offices in other countries. Try http://www.irossco.com/patentsearching.htm as one example. Please note that many individuals or companies register their patents with the USPTO in addition to multiple jurisdictions to gain "global coverage".

Can you patent the appearance of a webpage using a design patent?

yes, provided the design is new, non-obvious and ornamental (as opposed to purely functional). I disagree. The patent law states: 35 U.S.C. 171Patents for designs. Whoever invents any new, original, and ornamental design for an article of manufacture may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title. I would advise my client that your webpage is already protected by copyright law. A person should do a quick search of design patents to see if other patents have been granted on web pages. There are plenty of utility patents on webpages. A webpage most likely would not be seen by the USPTO as an articles of manufacturing. Hope this is helpful.
