First off welcome to RCM from the land down under. If you are in search of factual and honest info about our R/C hobby, then you have come to the right place. Not only do we have the pleasure of sharing info with some of the brightest and most experienced minds in the business, but also some of the top manufacturers as well stop in here and share their info with us as well.
With that said I am not sure why you would come here to defend the Leopard brand, but if you place their motors side by side with some of the CC motors it is painfully obvious that someone is cloning someone. CC has not only shared info with us about how their motors are made, but also where, and by who they are manufactured. There is nothing stopping Leopard or any of the other companies for that matter from stopping in on these R/C sites to share info with us (the consumers) in the hopes of supporting their products. Thats just good business sense. Of course this is a USA site and we support USA companies so there is a slight lean in the direction of American companies. Especially when they have one of the best customer support serivce oriented warranties in our hobby. Since Leopard does not visit with us here to share info for or against their motors any arguement on their behalf is somewhat mute. All are welcome here to share info or discuss anything R/C related, and we welcome facts on any discussion supporting claims. I hope you enjoy your time in here as many of us do. Have a great time and enjoy the hobby.

But you said Leopard Copied/Cloned your motors?
How is this so? I have a Leopard 5692 1340kv sitting here. ( The visual build quality is excellent - I'm yet to run it though. )
Castle doesn't produce a motor of this size (This motor has been around for awhile) and nothing close to it. So there is some obvious R&D being done with these Leopard motors and not blatant copying, as you guys have suggested.
I'd lean more towards them being Castle influenced
Just my 0.2c.
