Brands that have achieved a significant name in the world may have all the perks. Their sales might be rocket high and they might even be leaders of their field, but there is one thing that all brands dread. That is a copy cat.
When a product gets copied, the brand is exposed as volatile in the market. Its customers might get conned into buying the copied product which will bring distrust to their name. That is why brands always come forwards and acknowledge the copy cat disconnecting any ties that it can use.
Today we bring you 7 such brands that have been copied to the core that no one can tell them apart.
