<li>Let's imagine...</li>
<li>A created web design.</li>
<li>B is inspired by A's design.</li>
<li>B creates similar design.</li>
<li>Is B's work deemed as copyright infringement?</li>
</ol>
<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/NI96DkO.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Person A Design</a></p>
<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/LeBCmuS.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Person B Design</a></p>
<p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/o9DTb7t.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Similarities labeled</a></p>

<p>It's highly unlikely that A would even recognise this as similar. It's really bog standard. A coloured patterned background (in a different colour and with a different pattern). Two buttons. A picture and a testimonial. All things that have been done thousands of times.</p>
<p>In the end, it is _copy_right. What exactly is B supposed to have copied?</p>

<p>The similarities are all basic elements in a standard order. They do not confer any originality. Even if they did, these are mote ideas than expressions in my view, and thus not protected by copyright.</p>
<p>I think a case on these two designs would not survive an early motion to dismiss, and an experienced copyright lawyer would advise not proceeding with such a case.</p>
