Changing 10–20% of a design does not avoid copyright infringement

As we see more & more art of surface pattern designers being copied & stolen with the excuse that is has been “significantly changed”, we want to share this important info from our friends at Anti-Copying in Design:

“Can changing 10–20% of a design avoid copyright infringement? Think again.

For surface pattern designers, understanding copyright law is essential. There is no percentage rule. What matters is whether another design is substantially similar to the original.
