How many of you out here have ever discovered that another company had

it once on a complete product scale (although multiple products copied by
this company). I have seen teardowns done, but not cloned. I wonder how
prevalent this is.

The Motorola 68000 instruction set was an exact copy of the DEC Vax
system.

And Motorola took the 6800 guys to court. So they changed it into 6502 asfaik.
