No, they are not likely to have any copyright over the rephrased sentences. The sentences are machine generated and therefore not an intellectual work and therefore not under purview of intellectual property protection. A confirmation can still be sought by writing to support@spinbot.com . Nevertheless, the tool produced by this company definitely is their intellectual property and we cannot 'copy' the tool.

Just wondering, if I am using Microsoft word to compose and MS Word Autocorrect gives a modification suggestion, does Microsoft own the copyright for the re-engineered sentence accepted by me as per its suggestion? Surely not.

The entire thing is as per my understanding. If anybody finds a lacuna, please feel free to point it out.

Hi

I would like to draw attention to a paraphrasing tool available at: http://paraphrasing-tool.com/

I found that it paraphrases reasonably well. It can be of good utility in cases of copy-vio or where tools to check plagiarism give suspicious response.

I have experimented with this service. I found it somehow superior to other similar paraphrasing tools. Of course you would still have to apply your wits to check whether they have chosen the right alternative words. Else your smile could become somebody else's grin. Your legal firm could become 'legitimate rigidity' (whatever that might mean).. and so on.

Nevertheless it does a good job similar to or better than the translation done by Google translate.

Hum. Machine paraphrasing? Better to have humans do it I think.
