The coattail effect :

The tendency for a popular political party leader to attract votes for other candidates of the same party in an election. For example, the party of a victorious presidential candidate will often win many seats in Congress as well; these congressmen are voted into office “on the coattails” of the president.

I’ve never actually heard this precise term, but I would guess that while this was originally a political concept, it could also refer to something like one company coming out with an innovative new product, followed by several other companies “riding its coattails” by following up with similar products of their own, which in reality are nothing more than variations on the original.

You think of a coat with coattails, the analogy is that someone who “rides the coattail” is someone who benefits from someone else’s actions, gets a free ride.
