I would think that would also prevent a Scottish weaving firm from unilaterally designing/producing/registering? tartans for every county in Ireland, like House Of Edgar did in the 1980s.
Though it's here in the USA, didn't an American firm design tartans for each US state? For every branch of the US military, and police, and fire?
These are purely commercial ventures, aren't they? The designers and producers of these tartans couldn't possibly have a close connexion with EVERY entity one of their tartans are named for.
