I'm not familiar with smarterer, and I'm just as unfamiliar with intellectual property law, which leads me to ask you, is there any way, process or resource for you or other aspiring web designers to evaluate or design (or reevaluate or redesign, maybe in your case) a web-software product to determine if and how it's distinctly different enough from a competing product(s) to at least tentatively be considered original. Basically, "How could we ever determine when or where a product or its features or designs within cross from 'original', into 'infringed'?"
