AFAIK, there is no "copyright" type protection for circuit design. The only protections are for things that are patented. For this to be a successful suit, it would have to go beyond circuit copying to the overall design, ie. circuit layout, transformer specs. Products that are exact clones may have difficulty trying to prove that they developed them on their own.

How many guitar distortion pedals are wholely original designs?
