Can Google.com and Ask search engine be sued for copyright infringement of they using my user interface design?
Before the invasion of smartphones and apps galore for such smartphones. There was no search engine that could provide the feel of no clutter while providing an applike appeal and use until I designed the home page seen below.
One of my search engine front end design seen below from 2010
Google new version 2018:
Ask.com first came close way back in 2012, then Google followed similar design seen below before their new version.
See my 2011 blog article speaking about Ask.com and my design for jahboo.com below.
jahboo.com page design influences Ask.com? Or is it a total rip off?
Released along with others like it below (now deleted) in May 12, 2010
Spotted in the wild a month ago and up until recently as last night on their main domain Ask.com. However page cannot be located under themes, but in the wild at this URL: http://www.ask.com/?l=dis&o=14200cr
What do you think? It is flattering actually that a US$400 million per year in revenue company would appear to be influenced by such a small start up such as jahboo.com. Also jahboo.com in 2011 is the # 3 local website in Jamaica.
But it does not stop here. Did you know that jahboo.com original home page designed over a year before Yahoo.com new home page, appears also play a major influence in their new home page design.
In the web, design influences design. And such is the nature of the web. For even the spartan look by google influenced many search engine home page designs. But at what point do you become original, thus influenced but at the same time raise the bar to another level? Rather than being simply a knock off of the original?
Truth be told the final home page for jahboo.com / Tawfiki.com will make the current Yahoo.com home page look like it is from the stone age. But hey, a business is not a hobby. Or is it a hobby if there is no business plan or significant revenue stream for a website? 🙂
