: : I have a idea for I would like to start a website/Business and want to know if you can patent a Business concept or the way it works. There are other websites out there that do the idea I am thinking of but they don't tailor it to a particular industry that I am looking at. I am not sure if a patent would be the way to go or if a Copyright is more appropriate. If it is sucessful then I would like to license the concept to others. : : Thanks for any info you can share. : Dear Bob, : As the result of a recent Supreme Court decision, business systems are now patentable. The legal standards for patentability are still still the same. They must be new useful and unobvious. : The concept is best kept completely secret intil the patent application is filed. It is adviseable to have a patent search before proceeding. : We start with a Reality Check even before the patent search to save time money and worry. : M.
