Dbrand has a really strong case here IMO, since they pretty heavily edit the internals and add a few easter eggs, which are still visible in Casetify’s final designs
Dbrand discovered Casetify allegedly copied 117 different designs, down to the many digital manipulations it made to the images. Dbrand says it holds registered copyrights for each of these products, all of which were registered before Casetify’s product launch.
Also, TIL:
Disclosure: The Verge recently collaborated with Dbrand on a series of skins and cases
The Easter eggs showing up is pretty solid evidence
Map makers used to do this to catch people ripping off their work, looks like dbrand made a solid decision in doing the same (though probably not intentionally)
I’m still bummed I can’t take a vacation to Frisland :(
These are called fictitious entries. Dictionaries and encyclopedias do this too.

I havent watched it yet but now I will not watch it for the blatant baiting.
Thought it was about the bunker he was building…I didn’t watch it so I had no idea it was about this but the thumbnail and the click bait title made me unsubscribe from him.
Copyright infringement is also known as intellectual property theft. I still disagree with his choice of video title.

I thought IP just referred to something you can’t physically steal and instead copy.

I always considered it like thought property, not exactly tangible and the closest you could do is copy it.

I mean. Literally, literally means figuratively now. People look at DVDs and say they’re not a digital copy when they are written digitally. Words are fluid and contextual so to throw out half a phrase is to throw out the ability to understand it.
Property is a system of rights that gives people legal control of valuable things,[1] and also refers to the valuable things themselves. -Property Wiki
An intellectual property would then logically follow it is a valuable thing or idea that is then legally controlled.
You’re getting downvoted because people don’t like the way the real world works.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Dbrand, the device skin company known for trolling brands like Sony and Nintendo, is waging a legal battle of its own.
The company is suing rival Casetify over claims it blatantly copied Dbrand’s Teardown device skins and cases, which are made to look like the internals of whatever phone, tablet, or laptop you’ve purchased them for.
In March, one user on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out that Casetify appeared to be reusing the image of the same internals across different phone models, which means they didn’t accurately represent the insides of each device they were sold for.
“If CASETiFY had simply created their own Teardown-esque design from scratch, we wouldn’t have anything to take issue with,” Dbrand CEO Adam Ijaz tells The Verge.
That’s why, instead of issuing a cease-and-desist order, Dbrand is hitting Casetify with a federal lawsuit in Canadian courts, where the company is based, and seeking eight figures in damages.
Dbrand is also launching a brand-new set of X-ray skins across its entire portfolio today that are rather different from the Teardown ones — they’re black and white, captured at 50 micron resolution by a lab called Haven Metrology, and show details that wouldn’t be visible simply by removing the back cover of a phone, laptop, or gaming handheld.
