Field notes
The sample DKNY entry traces the name from its 1989 founding through LVMH’s 2001 acquisition to G-III Apparel Group’s completed $650 million purchase in 2016. The site separates ownership history from the kind of brand, with categories such as licensed name and name collision; it cautions that a trademark owner may not be the product’s maker. The example is marked checked on 31 October 2026.
