I have a guy who wants me to interpret a pattern in vector and "it must differ by 30% for legal reasons."
Hoe do you gauge if one patten deviates 30% from another?

for a 30% change think of it like this.
since its a legal thing, you must make at least 7 changes from the original.1. size - the size of the pattern
2. colour - if its 7 colours then change to 5 or 9 or 6
3. interpretation - the pattern itself, what is it made of, if flowers, why not try spark plugs.. be creative.
4. material - what is the pattern printed upon or created upon, change its nature of finals, like an example is if its on PVC then try TPX.
5. repeat - does the pattern have 1 repeat, why not try a quadruple repeat or something else.id say if you at least do 3 of the above you have made a 30% change from the original concept or idea or finished works.

does a change in scale constitute a legal difference?

What percent of women ( under 60) would you say meet your standards for a one night stand if no one else knew? Be honest. Oh and you're sober. =)

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.
