Hi, Charis,
Our licensing and trademark department keeps samples of items that they
licensed.  I believe the intent is to compare the sample with actual from
time to time to make sure the contract is being followed.  They also send
to storage items that were not licensed.  The intent here is to be able to
prove that the company is using Honda's name or logo illegally if the item
shows up on the market.  The items cannot be given away, and even pictures
or detailed measurements would not contain the same information as the
actual objects.
