But the UI is public. Did Replit copyright or patent the UI design?
- Exuma 5y agoI'm not saying anything on legal basis. I'm saying simply emotionally, the perspective of someone using something I have designed, regardless of patent, after we work together... that would be a negative situation for me. That's on a personal level, which is why I said "its worth nothing more than a polite conversation" I think the CEO is an absolute knob jockey for threatening to sue. That's ludicrous to me.
- hoistbypetard 5y ago> I think the CEO is an absolute knob jockey for threatening to sue. "knob jockey"? WTF? Why would you comment on what you think the CEO's sexuality is in this context? That's awful and seems really out of place here.

- beckler 5y agoCopyright doesn’t really apply to UI designs. Patents can apply, but it’s really only used in novel and unique situations. Even if Replit had a patient on its UI/UX design, if you were able to find evidence of prior art, you could petition to invalidate.
- ww520 5y agoNot to disagree with you. Didn't Apple sue Microsoft for copying the Mac UI on copyright ground? I know they settled, not sure what's the real legal outcome of it. Edit: Ok, just looked it up. Apple lost all claims on copyrighting the Mac UI.
