Re: Styles for User Guides - Intellectual Property?

[R G Wallen <rgwallen -at- JUNO -dot- COM>]

Greetings!

I would be most interested in this topic also. Typically, almost every
site has a variety of styles with a standardized header/footer. The body
of the documents delivered are very inconsistent especially when site
specific terminology definitions are not developed. I too have developed
delivery templates where none have been the same, but due to the content
requirements of each business being similar, so are the templates. If I
did perchance across a template design that was acceptable to multiple
parties, would there be any implications?
