Government Regulation
 
Under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, including the recent amendments with the passage of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (MoCRA), fragrance products and other fragrance based personal care products, are regulated as cosmetics. The products include, but are not limited to, perfumes, colognes, fragrance mists, body sprays, body lotions, shower gels and aftershaves. They must meet the same safety requirements as other cosmetic products under MoCRA. Compliance for cosmetics includes ensuring they are safe for consumers when used according to labeled directions or as consumers customarily used.
 
Under the Fair Packaging and Labelling Act, companies and individuals who manufacture or market cosmetics have the legal responsibility to ensure the products are sold with accurate, clear, and informative labeling on products.

Trademarks
 
The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with our trademarks and brand names. We have licenses or other rights to use, or own, the material trademark and brand name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and distribution of our major products both in the United States and in other countries where such products are principally sold. Therefore, trademark and brand name protection are important to our business. Although most of the brand names we license, use or own are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries in which we operate, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or brand name protection. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and brand names may be substantial.
 
Under various licenses and other agreements, we have the right to use certain registered trademarks throughout the world for fragrance products. These registered trademarks include:
