Everything can now be copied at once and pasted when and wherever it is required.
Simple and intuitive user interface allows you to focus on your essential work and not on application itself and there are no distracting visual effects or inconsistent content

The only features that I would like to see added to CopyPaster are the ability to paste text plain without formatting, and the ability to save clips as favourites (ideally with a hotkey associated with each favourite clip). Then it would be a five-star app.

Please search MacUpdate for, say, the word "note" or "notes" and see how many programs have nearly identical names. That's just one example. If you're going to create a program that performs very specific functions, then the program name should reflect that in order to guide consumers looking for programs of a particular nature. Most programs cannot get around this need. Similarities are inevitable in many cases.
Otherwise, could one also assume that the creator of CopyPaste should be sued by Apple and Microsoft for appropriating the terms "copy" and "paste?" Should every cereal with the word "flakes" in its name be subject to copyright infringement? Should every word processor with "word" in the title have to fear a lawsuit?
As long as the program names are not identical, I don't see an issue with similarity. I would assume that the MU community is savvy enough to do comparison shopping.
Please note that I do not work for Maxbor or have any affiliation with them. (Check my comments in MU; you can also check under "Easer," which was my old MU name.) But I like CopyPaster and have had good correspondences with them. I feel the need to offer at least an alternative perspective here.

Now it's true that names tend to be recycled. This has happened to Alfred, for instance, but the original app is no longer in development so it can be argued the name has been abandoned. Another example is Flux, which is the name of a number of apps that are otherwise dissimilar. This shows a lack of creativity, but no obvious intent to copy someone else's app and ride on their reputation. It's just my opinion, but I think CopyPaster crosses the line of ethical behavior in this regard. Whether it has any legal implications remains to be seen.
