Google patented his home page.

The largest and best known of the Internet has managed to patent the his home page. The blank page with the company logo in the center, preceded by the search bar, links and a Google Search button and I'm feeling lucky, have already been patented and therefore has the rights graphical user interface for displaying a screen of a communications terminal according to the document reproduced at page Gawker.

After five and a half struggling to patent their minimalist home page has finally succeeded. Google had fewer problems when it comes to patent the design of its search results as it was presented simultaneously to the Patent and Trademark Office U.S. in 2004 and the latter obtained the patent in 2006.

The vice president of search products and user experience at Google, Marissa Ann Mayer, has already signed, so now to be seen whether Google will use its patent against competitors with similar format as Ask or Yahoo!.
