Is it legal to make something similar but not the same as another company's product?
By "legal" you are probably asking whether another company can sue you ofr patent or copyright infringement. It is seldom a criminal offense to manufacture a product similar to an existing product.It depends on how similar the new product is to the original, whether you incorporate any characteristics of the other product that the original company has patented, and whether you use any processes in the production that are patented. Quite a number of companies have been sued for creating products that duplicate the "look and feel" of an existing product. You also have to watch out for copyright and trademark infringement.

Who invented the sax-horn?
The Saxhorn family of instruments was patented in 1845 by Adolphe Sax, who recorded a patent for the Saxophone family of instruments one year later. Saxhorns are similar to cornets, euphoniums and tubas which existed before Sax's patent, so there is disagreement as to whether Sax invented something new or just modified something that already existed.

Can my product have the same name as a product already established?
Only if the product doesn't have a registered trademark on the name. If your product has similar functionality to an existing product and you call it the same thing, you would be at risk of "passing off" your product as theirs and if they have trademarked the name, you would be at risk of being sued.

How do you find out what copyright means on silver plated items?
The design of the item is copyrighted, meaning you can't manufacture a product that looks like the original (a knock-off), or is so similar it's obviously derived from the original. The silverplate is pretty much irrelevant, unless it is a unique factor of the design, which is unlikely. Silver plating processes were once patented, not copyrighted. Some techniques may still be patented, but you wouldn't be able to tell one from another by looking at the product.
