What percentage of a design must be changed to avoid copyright infringement?
This has to be determined on a case-by-case basis and can’t be answered in general. You should consult the question "How much of another person’s work can I use and still be protected by fair use?" for more information.
If you are web designer/developer who wants to know how much or little you should rely on fair use for your business, feel free to contact New Media Rights via our contact form to find out whether you qualify for free or reduced fee legal services. We also offer competitive full fee legal services on a selective basis. For more information on the services we provide click here.
