The flip up animation is an easy and common way to transition shapes on screen and the double arrows is also fairly common imagery. However, the KashFlow video feels much more genuine and solid, a much better presentation πŸ™‚

It gives you yet more ammunition. Good luck.

It happens all the time, but defending against it is time consuming, expensive, and frustrating. I have a similar situation going on with Zoho if it helps to read about others dealing with this same sort of ba behavior: http://www.geekceo.com/entry/zoto-trademark

Thats just bad form. I’m all for getting a little inspiration, but flat out copying, even down to the logo is just shameful.

Joke stealer.

KashFlow is still my favoured accounts package!

Their video is shite – especially when you consider how deep their pockets are. What is with that annoying “wey-hey” thing..?

Yours is not shite – I was impressed that you (and I mean this in the best possible way as you are a young company) are turning out slick marketing like that.

Ultimately, it will just embarrass them in the long term so let them keep doing it and spread PR all over the internet about it!!

Thankfully it’s a bad copy. It represents the differences between KashFlow and Sage quite well. KashFlow is better in every way. Simple. And you’ve got Lord Melchett voicing your video – Bah!

The guys at Sage must be really hacked off that they’ve gone to all this effort and they could have just copied what KashFlow did. Poor them.

Too right. If there were Sage would have stolen them!
