What is the name of the design patten described in the video?

I know that there are many design pattens for implementing inheritance in javascript (e. g. Prototypal inheritance, combination inheritance), but I can’t identify the one described in the video.

in JS there is ONLY prototypal "inheritance". If you use new ES6 features like Class, under the hood they still rely on the prototype chain.
