pattern similarity

Read a random definition: best-mode requirement

A quick definition of pattern similarity:

Pattern similarity refers to how similar one thing is to another. This can be important in things like trademarks or copyrighted works, where it's not just about copying exact words or phrases, but also about copying the general ideas or structure. The level of similarity needed to be considered infringement depends on the product and how careful the typical buyer would be in that market. If someone is buying something like candy, they might not be as careful as someone buying a watch, so the level of similarity needed to deceive them would be different.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Pattern similarity refers to the resemblance of one trademark or copyrighted work to another. It is a measure of how closely one work resembles another, either in terms of overall impression or in terms of specific elements.

Example: In the world of intellectual property, pattern similarity is often used to determine whether one work infringes on the rights of another. For example, if a new product is released that looks and functions very similarly to an existing product, it may be considered a pattern similarity infringement. Similarly, if a new logo or trademark is too similar to an existing one, it may be considered an infringement.

Explanation: The examples illustrate how pattern similarity can be used to determine whether one work is too similar to another. In both cases, the question is whether the new work is similar enough to the existing work to cause confusion or deception among consumers. This is determined by looking at the overall impression of the works, as well as specific elements such as design, function, and wording.

When I get home I think I will pull up a youtube yoga video and lay out the mat by the fireplace now, feeling guilty I haven't been stretching properly

Gotta always be ready to release that energy. Like if I am in a fight at the bar, I just gotta bust out a couple punches. No stretching.

@babycat: If the person I am mentoring decides to listen to my advice instead of just discussing my advice I will pay you to tutor her. You seem like a smart, good and well put together person that she can probably learn well from.
