Tex to resume is used mainly to indicate that an activity/action stopped and then started again.(resume walking, resume driving) I think in this case the concept was "evolved" not resumed

from not by
"the concept was borrowed from XXX by YYY" if YYY is the one doing the borrowing
Peer comment(s):

agree Alexandra Speirs : yes, but XXX .... applying the concept..... borrowed from ZZZ by YYY

Not resumed

but "taken from", i.e. they have taken or borrowed the concept from another product.

Peer comment(s):

agree Mihaela Petrican : infatti," taken from" sarebbe anche la mia scelta

I'm not sure about the use of the verb "resume" and the choice of verb obvious influences what follows. What is the context. Is this a new version of an old product?

I agree with Clair, "taken from" would be better.
Note from asker:
it's not exactly a new version of an old product...the subject is the concept, which was developed by a previous concept which gave (in the past) birth to a product that, and this is the twist, is related to the new one but its development is not an improvement made to the old one... I hope I'm clear, I got stuck ... Sorry I would have like to write this to all of you at the beginning of the page, but I don't know how to do it... I'm still a KuodZ "rookie"!!
