Kamoya was likely one of the first to come up with a radically different design on Brompton's rear suspension, which was then grossly copied by others.
I have a Kamoya kickstand for Brompton. It is an overthought, overengineered product that is useless in practice. I also have the said Kamoya suspension for Brompton. It works reasonably, but then its design route went close to that of Brompton, nothing radical there, just an incremental improvement.
