Odoo uses a REQUIREJS style of javascript modularisation. Here is how you can create a new js module which has inherited the characteristics or another.

odoo.define('addon_name.jsmodule', function (require) {
"user strict"
    var module = require('other.module');
    module.extend({
        // Your extension here
    });
});

Now within the scope of your jsmodule you have access to all of the attributes of the other.module plus or minus your modifications.

You can see examples of this in /addons/web/static/src/js/framework/data.js this is a (to me anyway) a complex topic. There are entire university courses on javascript inheritance. I am not an expert either. In the framework directory there are many examples of class extension. This is where I would go to get a better understanding of how to inherit the properties of an existing class.

You can also review the documentation Odoo Javascript,Odoo JS Extensions

Make sure you have a cup of coffee. Enjoy!
