Every label recorded as trading on a licensed brand's trade dress
This is the real table, not an example of one: every tracked label with a recorded copy-of relationship, the licensed label it resembles, the confidence on that link, the hardware behind it and where it has been seen.

All 6 tracked labels with a recorded copy-of relationship, as of 11 October 2026. A copy-of relationship records observed trade dress resemblance in the material collected; it is not a finding of infringement, which only a court makes, and none of these labels is recorded as connected to the label it resembles by ownership, trademark or shared manufacturing.
An absence in any of the records in this table means a search of the published lists did not return a match on the date shown. It is not a finding that any company has broken the law, and it may reflect a filing we have not yet reached rather than one that does not exist. If you can point us at a record we have missed, the corrections form is on the methodology page.
