Brands That Were Shamelessly Ripped Off

Branding is everything. But some companies rip off and steal from others. Here are the most shocking cases of blatantly ripped off brands.

Legal Stuff.

2:08 Apple did not invent the only screen smartphone, Motorola and LG already made it a year before the first iphone

It's funny how Disney, a company that is absolutely merciless in chasing copyright-infringement cases, does so much underhanded, shady stuff themselves.

In the 60's, my grandma loved Hydrox, and we had them whenever we visited. Thanks, Munnie!

Its missing what Apple ripped off over the years, its not as innovative as it is presented here.
Also fashion is a ripoff by itself.

I was expecting more of a "Chinese knock-off" feel more than a "my own art is being stolen by big fashion brands" feel.

Apple ripped off everyone else more than they did to them like Fast Charging, Fingerprint, Face unlock, and Samsung made their Oled Displays on their X models

**smartphone has a screen**
BE AMAZED: Apple ripoff!

Brother you need to know that the 'Liquid Retina' display of Apple is manufactured by Samsung..

The land Rover and Tara Safari story is incorrect.

Apple took the touch id from Motorola
And face id from Samsung and a lot more

[karpreece]

Clearly you have a hard-on for Apple. I've been in the industry for over 15 years and I watched Apple steal almost every idea from lesser known brands. All they ever did was enhance and refine those ideas with the bottomless pockets they had.

So why didnt you mention all the specs and features apple take from other companies?

6:41 IF U STATE THAT... THEN EVERY SEDAN, SUV, HATCHBACKS ARE RIPOFF OF EACH OTHER respectively IN THE WORLD

Traveling to china is like entering a parallel dimension

I have to completely disagree with #17. There are countless instances of Apple claiming it is the first to do something when another product has done it for years. The location of a device in its packaging can barely be called 'Copying'. Not one of the examples you showed were identical. Also, there's a difference between "Trends" and "Ripping Off". How can the loss of the headphone jack and introduction of cloud storage be called ripping off? And what's this BS about Apple inventing the single-screen phone??

On a different note, I don't think buying a company and then making a product similar to another product of that same company can be called ripping off. And just because a social media site has similar features to another doesn't make it a ripoff.

apple rips off more then they get ripped off

Man Safari was a not copy to Range Rover. It was made in 1990 with a rounded roof shape while Range Rover from 90s where boxy. They only start resembling each other after Tata purchased Range Rover.

I remember Hydrox, they were pretty good!

[aliciahilliard]

Me: Did you know LG was the first phone company to create a smartphone
