the old IP laws (in australia anyways) used to say that the item had to be changed at least a certain percent (so for this argument let's say 30%) and you could get away with it.
the laws then changed so they now state that if the 'original intent' of the item is the same it's covered by IP and you can get sued / shot / anal-probed or whatever happens. the problem being the enormous grey-area called 'original intent'.
many clients (and designers) still think that the old rules apply and can find themselves getting into rather deep, rather hot water for a client that's paying them bugger-all for the job.
