Years ago P & H made a kayak designed by Derrick Hutchkinson. The type was called the 'Baidarka Explorer'. It was not a baidarka but I never heard
somebody did make problems about this name. It was a very popular sea-kayak for years. I still own one but prefer my Night Heron en S&G Guillemot.

In the Netherlands more than 18 years ago, Van Stipdonk designed a kayak with a stern where the shearline went down. The bottom swept up and the shearline swept down. The design was called 'Stipyak'. It still is on the market with the name Seayak In the photo you can sea the lines of the yellow kayak.
It has a retractable skeg. Without that you can only kayak backwards.

Of course the plagiat of Nick's text is not right. But that only the side view of the kayak is simular does not mean that they stole an idea. The name Baidarka is used before for other kayaks than the experts see it as a Baidarka.
