You cannot "patent" a webpage.
However, the contents of a web site, those portions that would be considered to have "sufficient originality" would be afforded copyright protection.
The actual coding, in all likelihood, wouldn't qualify.
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.

A patent is a grant from a patent office, such as the United States Patent Office. "Patent Pending" is a phrase that an application for a patent has been filed and is in some stage in the process of obtaining a patent. Thus, a patent can be presently enforced while a patent that is merely pending is unenforceable but can mature into a patent that can be enforced. Once the pending patent matures, the patent owner can sue for back damages or reasonable royalties starting from the filing date of the patent.
There are not training offered from the patent office on getting a patent. The patent office advises you to seek guidance from a trademark/patent attorney. A good attorney is highly suggested by the patent office. As a convenience, they have a roster of local Patent Attorneys.
Patent revocation is the removal of patent protection from an invention.
To cite a patent in APA format, include the inventor's name, the patent number, the title of the patent, the publication date, and the source of the patent. Format it as follows: Inventor(s). (Year). Title of patent (Patent No. xxxxxx). Source.
If it is a U.S. patent, you can go to the USPTO website for patent searches and enter the number in "patent number search".
A provisional patent provides temporary protection for an invention, while a non-provisional patent offers full patent protection and must be examined by the patent office.
No, there is not and cannot be such a patent.
There are many companies out there that will tell you how to get a patent, however, most are scams. You can apply for a patent with the US Patent Office at www.uspto.gov.
An improvement of an existing invention is itself an invention, and can be patented like any other invention. Contact a patent practitioner (patent agent or patent attorney) for assistance. The United States Patent and Trademark Office has lists and addresses of patent practitioners in every state. Avoid companies that advertise they will "help you get a patent."
