copycat

I would disagree with KMT on his first reply. If Apple felt your app was too similar to existing apps that would have rejected it with 4.1 Copycats. I would just keep following up with them. It might not be clear to the reviewer that there are multiple levels depending how the user progresses through the game. I had 4.2 rejection for a simple utility app and I just kept adding features until they finally approved it.

All I was doing was referencing your original post. You specifically said 'live video/audio teaching tutorials of a real teacher'. I don't know what that entails. But if someone posts your video on YouTube, you can have that video removed because it is your property. I can't comment on any material that might be portrayed in your video and what the legal implications of that might be. If you have the right to convey the material in that video, then you don't have to worry about someone posting the video on YouTube. You can have said video removed. A copyright violation of your video would not put you in violation of any rights you legally exercised when making and distributing the video via your own, authorized channels. All you have to do is make a good faith effort to remove any such copyright violations when they occur.I can't comment on the actions of other developers. Clearly, there are many developers in many places who are about to push out a tremendous amount of content in little or no time. Maybe it

Seriously bro, this is what gets me mad and upset because my game doesn't even look like any of the games on the market and it gets rejected because of guideline 4.3, and on the other hand there are thousands of apps already on the app store that are spams and copycats of other hit games. This is seriously terrible!

They refer to this guideline5.2.1 Generally: Don’t use protected third party material such as trademarks, copyrighted works, or patented ideas in your app without permission, and don’t include misleading, false, or copycat representations, names, or metadata in your app bundle or developer name. Apps should be submitted by the person or legal entity that owns or has licensed the intellectual property and other relevant rights and is responsible for offering any services provided by the app.You should go to fifa site and see what resembles your app. May be the set up to present the result trees (copycat representation) ? Or the names along the countries flags.

Thank you for your instruction. We had a pusoy card game (just simulating gambling, not real money) and got rejected since August 09. Now that we created an organization account and transfer the removede from sale apps to new account then submit it. However, Apple still rejects it as copycat. Have you published the apps successfully yet? Could you share with us. Thank you so much in advance

How is anyone supposed to answer you? We don't know who you are and what your app does. No one has seen it other than Apple App Review. Those people see all apps and should be very skilled at identifying copycat apps. Why should we doubt their judgement?

This is an oft heard scenario here - please search on: copycat ...and/or ... 4.1If you have further questions, it can help if you talk about your app and not just the rejection...thanks and good luck.

I don'tb think this has anything to do with company name. I published several apps which names have not the slightest resemblance with the company name.So, you should find what else is infringing or riking to infringe 2.1.5.2.1 states:5.2.1 Generally: Don’t use protected third-party material such as trademarks, copyrighted works, or patented ideas in your app without permission, and don’t include misleading, false, or copycat representations, names, or metadata in your app bundle or developer name. Apps should be submitted by the person or legal entity that owns or has licensed the intellectual property and other relevant rights and is responsible for offering any services provided by the app.You said that One of them happens to be similar to UberAre you sure not to infringe any patented idea here ?

Here is 5.2.1:5.2.1 Generally: Don’t use protected third-party material such as trademarks, copyrighted works, or patented ideas in your app without permission, and don’t include misleading, false, or copycat representations, names, or metadata in your app bundle or developer name. Apps should be submitted by the person or legal entity that owns or has licensed the intellectual property and other relevant rights and is responsible for offering any services provided by the app.Who owns the data you are using for the coronavirus? If it is not copyright protected, or if it is explicitly available for your use, then appeal to App Review stating why you have the right to use the data.(I do not think the problem is that last is responsible for offering any services provided by the app.)
