Recently read a news piece, Microsoft filed a lawsuit on Corel over "Slider" design patent goo.gl/y8lyEG While this seems to be atrocious and funny at the same time, my humble opinion is it is okay to get inspired by Design trends. | |

It means that a reasonable person might confuse it for Angry Birds. | |

| Jan 4, 2016 at 12:45 | comment | added | TripeHound | I believe (but am not a lawyer) that the "impersonation or deceptive behavior provisions" clause is primarily to prevent apps that pretend to be official versions of well-known apps (while probably adding undesirable features). What sounds like a text-adventure app is not "pretending to be Messenger", just using a similar interface. | |
