China do have rules that covers this. I believe there has to be 5 differences. However these differences don't have to be very big so in essence it is a direct copy.
The moulding may look difficult but they are very good a reproducing these without difficulty. Also the plastic material cost will be quite small so it would not be difficult for them to produce the moulding to the same quality.
It is a shame to see someone’s hard work and design skill ripped off like that but the consumer often does not care.
