I'm not sure I understand (actually, I'm sure I DON'T understand). Each of those "electronic swatches" bears a label. The three are all different. I'm going to assume that these are registered designs, and if so, isn't it the case that the different thread counts makes them different tartans?

Again, I don't know all about the Registry, and I thought (as I think you're trying to imply) that designs seeking to be registered as different but which actually LOOK identical are not permitted, yet if these ARE all registered as different, they seem to have survived that fuzzy logic "what does it look like" inspection.
