presumption

Peer comment(s):

neutral Julie Barber : I can't see it fitting in. I think it might be something along the lines of 'similar work'

sounds to me like one step less heinous than simply copying - i.e. plagiarism via too many 'hints' of a protected work of art. I don't know the official term though.

allusion, evocation

Though I think there must be a better word.

agree B D Finch : I prefer allusion, as evocation can have associations with spiritualism and mysticism.

likeness

i have done tons of these kinds of agreements and the right translation of the term is likeness. so it doesn't have to be the same but alike in order to create possible copyright infringement.
Example sentence:

any use of this material or it's likeness for purposes other then stated in this agreement
