It actually has more in common with the Super four, but what most of these lookylikey fail to realise is that the linkages are carefully worked out to create the contact system, just making something that looks the same is not the same.

Don't Commencal have patents protecting against this sort of thing?

A few months ago there was a similar topic. Cube bikes also have something that looks similar, only looks. It is a four bar linkage bike.
