If is perfectly reasonable for say a company, lets call it 'Company N.V.' to produce a product under 'Brand A'. Lets say you keep 'Brand A' associated to a person or separate company so that 'Company N.V.' can still produce products under name 'Brand A' just with permission. Say that 'Company N.V.' gets intro financial difficulties, as such liquidators seize their assets for sale at auction. It would be perfectly possible for that separate entity or indeed a person that owns 'Brand A' to set up another company, say in the far east called 'Company Ltd.' and then grant 'Company Ltd.' to make products under the same 'Brand A' and really there is nothing anyone can do about it, as legally the brand doesn't have to be associated with the business.
This isn't foul play, but it's not a great way of doing business as it leaves lots of people out of pocket.
Again I will clarify this is just theory, and I am not accusing Serpent of anything.
