Default Enter a number and get the manufacturer name

I put in a number from the label and get the maker's name.

For example, a suit label has both RN#88387 CA#00411

So you click on "RN Database - Search"
Select RN Type="RN"
Enter number in field "RN Number"
Click on "Find"

For Canadian number, click on "Search Canadian Database"
then you get sent to the Canadian Competition Bureau.
Click on "Search for a CA Identification Number"
Type the CA # in CA Identification Number:
and click Find.

I put in the RN # & CA # in each site and found out that it was ADIDAS AMERICA INC and Adidas Canada Limited. So this suit (which is made a while back in the US) was made by Adidas.

You're right that anyone can make fakes, but I was most interested in seeing if, for example, a suit was made by someone else. (like a Nike suit actually made by Jantzen)

It would be curious if different brands are actually made by same manufacturer.
