I'm just asking cause yesterday I saw a mobile which I thought was an htc but on closer inspection turned out to be a spice mobile

Answer:
These issues of Copyright is very critical and adhered to very detailed law. From a user's point of view, you can feel that a phone is perfectly a copy of any other reputed brand but when you look closely, as you did yesterday, you can see very minor changes from the original one which one cannot see easily until n unless he goes for a detailed look. A slight change in the position of track pad or just the different design of menu key is quite enough to save them from the Copyright law. The placement of front camera etc.are the main features which they use to differ from copyright issue. So, until n unless one makes a terrible mistake as Samsung did with Iphone and Gfive did to Sony, They can smoothly continue the Copy Business.

Just flicking some of the features saves them from this. Like this is a 25$ mobile from Karbonn, it resembles an iPhone, but they can't do anything, as it isnt a total copy
