Copying is a stalwart of the manufacturing industry, which is always one step ahead of the patent laws it seems to me.
Somebody comes up with a good idea, and every body else produces something 'similar' but 'different' enough to avoid copyright. Happens right across the board.
You can patent a specific product, but to patent an idea ? .... never going to happen.
