Patents available for website GUIs?

Question

Our company has developed an innovative ed-tech website interface and we were wondering if we can file for a patent regarding the design. I believe that a patent would provide great protection against competitors, but I have also read that the procedure can be quite time-consuming. Are there alternative ways to protect our GUI design from copying?

Hi, You can file patent for this. Just file provisional patent as soon as possible and after that you can mention that the website GUI is patent protected . The overall process of getting patent granted will take 3-4 year but it will provide you good protection against competitors.
You can also go for copyright of software codes for this.
