To what degree must a website have patents? I always thought it was open game since the functionality of most websites are pretty universal outside the name of the URL. If i plan on running a sql database, does the way the information is accessed need to be patented? would that be considered the source code? Do the icons and symbols we employ subject to patent laws? I think that the more similar websites there are, the better it is for business. Seems to get people talking and comparing similar websites, but the same service provided.
