I am wondering someone, copied my website layout. it is legal to copy another website layout?
I am a business owner & some of my competitors copied my website layout & content also. it will impact my website ranking when google crawls their website? I am really stressed, what should I do? Can I contact google customer support? or claim copyright issue?
Please give me suggestions,
Thank You

It depends. You should look into the copyright laws of your jurisdiction and review the terms of use of the website whose layout you believe was copied. Generally, copyright laws protect the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. So, it may be legal to copy another website's layout as long as it does not include any protected elements such as artwork, text, or photography. It's best to consult an attorney if you're concerned that your website layout has been copied.

@iamarsal It depends on whether or not your website was developed from a template. There's not a whole lot you can do really about the layout since website layouts don't really vary much. However, if they copied your content, it may be an issue.
