Burberry actively enforces its brand name, equestrian knight logo, and iconic plaid pattern. The Burberry check is one of the most recognizable patterns in fashion and any reproduction or reference is likely to trigger a takedown.
What You Can Do

- ✓ Use "Burberry" in tags when selling genuine or compatible products
