Lego has also had some controversy with stealing lego ideas. The Hocus Pocus set was a lego idea and was rejected. Yet Lego released it eventually with an official license from Disney and a pretty damn identical design. OG designer never got credited. That said I still login into lego ideas regularly to support the sets I'd like to see come out(as in technic sets that aren't just another vehicle)
The original Ideas designer, Amber Veyt, is in the hocus pocus instruction manual tho. she didn't originally get 10,000 supporters for her first submission in 2021 but she applied for a second time the next year and that design became the set. The designer was credited
I realize most of chinese non lego brand bricks like sembo, pantasy, etc have many printed pieces. Like 90% of the details are printed, especially in adult sets.
