Kind of like how Apple modeled themselves after Sony. Interesting that this sort of legal battle never happened with car manufacturers as cars from various manufacturers tend to share fashionable design attributes.

That's because they license the hell out of their patents to each other.

There's a difference between modeling yourself after someone -- "Sony is cool because it cares about quality and design, and we should too" -- and slavishly copying them.
Samsung certainly doesn't model itself after Apple. It just copies their product designs down to the packaging and marketing.
