    Does anyone know if the designs of the demo themes are protected by copyright? I'm referring to the specific placement/look of the themes rather than the content, which will naturally be changed to suite specific needs.

    Basically, I'm wondering if I use a Genesis child theme for a client, could I use the same exact look as given in the demo? Or would I need to substantially change it around to use it?

    Thanks.

    Check out the FAQs.

    CAN I USE GENESIS FOR CLIENTS? (TO SELL SITES TO CLIENTS, FOR MY HOSTING COMPANY, FOR MULTISITE SALES, ETC.)

    Absolutely.

    You are welcome to use our themes to develop full websites that can be sold. We do not restrict the use of our themes to turnkey sites.

    However, the buyer of the custom site you build with Genesis will not have access to our customer portal, unless they purchase directly from us.
