How do you mean? This Apple design looks very different from any that I can find attributed to "Prusa" (not sure if that's a person or a company, but the company put out 3D print designs that are very different). And all of them, of course, copy shields that were out long before the current crisis.

A lot of people were prototyping shields to satisfy a sudden and overwhelming demand, and with 3D printers it seemed like dozens of variations appeared overnight. I don't think attribution is a big concern.

Prusa is both a person (joseph prusa) and the company he made (Prusa3d) that designs and manufactures 3d printers.

You're right though that they're not the same, beyond what similarity the function brings.
