Legally? Maybe not.

But Col Sanders left KFC after selling a business he created with his own secret reciepe. Then after he sold it, he watched the new owners use his image to sell an inferior chicken product.

So he started up another new chicken resteraunt using the original reciepe. Legally he couldn’t call it KFC, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was the original KFC reciepe.

Hows that phrase go? A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

Call things whatever word you want, it’s still the same thing in the end.
