Gaming Website Patent

[bigswole2004]

I want to start a game trading website. This website is distincly different in nature of functionality than most all other game trading sites. Can I patent the method or functionality of the way my users will be trading games? Thanks for the insite!

You can try to patent the business model. But for that I would urge you to get the assistance of a patent lawyer. Writing a patent application is a tricky business, and a small mistake can leave your innovation unprotected.
