"And the patents were copied, not just "because I think it is a look-a-like" Pudeo

"There are some similarities between the KP/-31 and PPSh -41 such as magazine capacity, cyclic rate of fire and the wooden buttstock. The Finnish gun is, however, a first generation submachine gun while the PPSh is a typical second generation submachine gun: Mass-produced for a massive army, and thus possessing neither quickly detachable barrel nor some other luxuries such as versatility with very slight - if any - alteration of the receiver mechanism." [1]

PPSh-41 is not copy of Suomi, which is easy to notice with little researche.
