So does Cooper technically no longer exist and was bought out by/changed their name to something else, like Philips bought out Westinghouse?

no the cooper name still exists. Eaton bought the entire Cooper Industries, not just Cooper Lighting

I wonder if Cooper will just become a brand like Lumark, McGraw Edison...etc.
