In the 1980s, Hachette asked artists to draw Mickey in the same style as in Marin stories.
The Journal de Mickey editors certainly knew Pierre le Goff copied Marin. That being said, Le Goff didn't do outright cut-and-paste of Marin drawings; in most cases he would redraw or combine different Marin poses, and could pretend he used these as a kind of model sheet.
But clearly they would not have accepted this kind of "work" in regular stories.

Interesting! Was Gen-Clo told to draw Mickey "Marin-style" for his own stories?
I could feel some influence... then again, Gen-Clo did draw Mickey alongside realistic humans (which was very not Marin-like) which was an interesting contrast.

In the beginning (from 1979 to 1985) Patrice Valli and Pierre Nicolas were in charge of creating new stories. Nicolas had ceased to work for Hachette but was recalled, because he was the only one who had an experience in creating new stories. Marin was the model they asked other authors to follow. I think Cavazzano also was a model for duck stories. In 1986, Jean-Luc Cochet took over as art director. He wrote F JM 85142 (an excellent story) and asked other writers to write stories in the same spirit.

I remember the "Bwerk" story very well! It felt typical of other Gen-Clo/ French mouse comics I've read, but I wouldn't imagine it served as the basis!!
