Answer 1

Generally, a government may grant a patent for an invention only if the invention has utility, possesses novelty, and involves an inventive step. While each government have slightly different rules, you (e.g., through your patent attorney or agent) will have submit an application in writing. It is your burden to prove these elements to the government during examination of your application.

Thus, assuming the service to be provided on your website is useful (e.g., not illegal), you must demonstrate to the appropriate patent office that no one has ever provided such a service previously (i.e., the services are novel) and that the service to be provided is not a trivial modification of an existing service (i.e., the services involve an inventive step). My impression of Indian patent law is that the law requires that your service be novel and involve an inventive step over technologies all over the world, not just India. That is, if someone outside India has already provided the service that you plan to offer inside India, you may be out of luck for all patent offices around the world, including the Indian patent office.

Given the complexities in patent law, I recommend that you contact a patent attorney or agent in India so that you can discuss how to draft the patent application and present your invention to the patent office. Through some prior art searching, the attorney or agent may be able to provide you some guidance as to whether your proposed service is likely to be found by the Indian patent office to be patentable. If the proposed service will not likely be patentable, perhaps you might want to pursue copyright registration instead.

Like any other patent, you can only claim what is your "new and non-obvious" contribution to the state of the art. You simply write a specification of your invention and file it as a patent application. It is then examined by comparing your claims to everything ever disclosed in any publication, anywhere in the world, in any language, or used in public, or any obvious combination or improvement over any of the above, to determine if your claims are patentable. Of course, even if your patent is issued, it would only be enforceable in India, meaning anyone in the entire world could simply read your published patent and copy your invention and make their own to sell in any country where your patent isn't issued.
