I particularly like this;

"For Positec, the innovation strategy faced a snag when competitor Black & Decker accused it of copying its design and color scheme. In 2015, a jury found that Positec’s Rockwell series of tools had unfairly utilized the iconic yellow and black color scheme used by Black & Decker’s DeWalt brand and that the company should pay Black & Decker $54 million. Post-trial motions continue in the case, which awaits a final ruling.

The history between Positec and Black & Decker, part of Connecticut-based Stanley Black & Decker, dated back to the 1990s when Gao’s factories were a contractor for the toolmaker giant. Now, the two companies’ factories are neighbors in China, located in Suzhou’s industrial district."
