Suppose Audi has a cog wheel mass produced in some factory in China. The cog wheel has to be made with very specific dimensions, or it won't fit into the Audi. Now that cog wheel in my Audi breaks, and I need a new one. What makes Audi the only one with the right to make a cog wheel that will fit my car? What you're trying to do is expand the patent system even further, without calling it a patent system.
If on the other hand those factories are infringing patents, then Apple may have a legitimate case ("may" because the quality of many patents is questionable at best, even if they're legally valid).
> that intentionally look so much like Apple’s ones that it deceives customers
But this is literally the opposite of what the training videos are about. They're about persuading customers that knowingly want to buy non-Apple parts, to buy Apple instead.
