I guess there are only copyright issues if someone gets a clone recipe absolutely right.

Most of the attempts at a commercial juice clone are only ever best attempts at what it is.

Take Darren Coles one.....currently top of the ELR ratings - Dinner Lady A Lemon Tart Remix

If he'd nailed the recipe.....got it absolutely right..... Dinner Ladies would have gone looking for him

The only DIY'er that has issues is Wayne Walker.....as he openly publishes his recipes........ but only under license for diy mixing.

He will actively go after any business offering his liquids...... goes full legal if he has to.

Not quite the same as jumping on others recipes
But  a number also attempt to gain control of common words /product name use in the sale of e-liquids. 
For example  applications have just been published for Trade marks in section 34 on the words
Nic Shot
ADD NIC SHOT
Nic Shots
nicshots
Might not stand much chance as  attempted ownership of the words/product name "nicotine shot" was recently turned down.

I get the feeling that somewhere along the line, this could get a bit ugly, if it hasn't done so already.

Which company is trying to claim the right to those terms?
