Company executives often underestimate the potential of patent law for their websites. Many people think that patents are usually about manufacturing and industry. But in fact, with the help of patent law, in most cases, you can also protect a website, since it is an intellectual product.

This also applies to intellectual property on a website. For example, an algorithm or service can be considered an invention, and a unique design or website interface can be considered an industrial design.
