The terms “Knock Off” (KO), “Third Party” (3rd Party), “Fourth Party” (4th Party), and “Official” (Licensed) are commonly used in the context of derivative products, particularly in the toy and collectibles industry. Here are their differences:

• “Knock Off” (KO): Knock Offs, often abbreviated as KO, are non licensed products intentionally imitating official ones but are typically of inferior quality but cheaper.
• “Third Party” (3rd Party): Third Party refers to manufacturers producing their own unlicensed products inspired by licensed characters, but designed to be compatible with existing ranges of licensed products. For example, in the Transformers toy industry, Third Party manufacturers often produce figures and accessories compatible with official toy lines, but not produced by Hasbro or Takara Tomy.
• “Fourth Party” (4th Party): The term “Fourth Party” is not as common as the others and may not be universally recognized in all contexts. However, in some industries, the term may refer to companies or individuals who provide services or products to third parties (Third Parties), often in the context of contracts or complex agreements involving multiple parties. The distinction between Third Party and Fourth Party may vary depending on the specific context.
• Official (Licensed): Licensed products, also known as official products, are those authorized by the rights holder. This means the manufacturer has obtained legal rights to produce and sell products based on a specific franchise, character, or intellectual property. Licensed products are typically of higher quality and receive support from the rights holder. For example, Marvel or Star Wars toys manufactured by Hasbro are official licensed products.
