Best Answer

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.
