France has a worldwide trademark on the name Champagne since 1891, and it is one of the many named protected EU wide by the “protected designation of origin” registry.
But you can find “legal” US Champagne, because “California Champagne” was a separate trademark - any US manufacturer that made it before 2005 can continue using it.

Though it would be kinda hilarious if the Trump decided to start disrespecting global trademarks like that, as that’s something that works both ways. Care for some French or Canadian made Tennessee Whisky, anyone?

Just have the tariffs double each week like russia did with the Youtube lawsuit.

Laws are only as effective as their enforcement, which means the US president can currently do pretty much whatever the fuck he wants to.

That would require starting a database with the purpose of cataloguing every single part number in every single device that exists, which while technically possible, is rather unfeasible without extensive manufacturer cooperation.
What iFixit is doing is the other way around, they are telling what device a certain part number they carry fits in - as in their example, what Lenovo laptop that specific battery is compatible with. That’s a problem multiple orders of magnitude smaller in scope.

In a perfect world though that information would be available in the repair manual and schematic that came with your device, as they usually did a few decades back. Alas, that’s something that’s never going to happen again because it hurts profit margins.
