Copycat rejection: evidence or removal
A copycat rejection means Apple sees potentially misleading third-party references or content. Your path is either documentary evidence or removal.
Developers rejected for copycats, third-party content, or misleading references. Guideline 4.1

If you have rights, attach evidence and reference it directly.
If you do not, state that the third-party content was removed and identify the new build or metadata changes.
