Perhaps they have licensed use of the name. Kodak will license the use of its name for almost anything - batteries, VHS tapes, bitcoin mining machines...

My bad, I should have said "what specific aspect(s) of it raised a question in your mind as to whether it might be illegal?

Evidently preset emulations are legal. As defined as a Photoshop action?

You're asking if emulating an emulsion's look is legal?

I'm not aware of any legal protection that would protect the appearance of the film grain.

Or am I misunderstanding your question (again)?

It's not just grain, but shades of color, tonality etc. Film has a signature.

They include color film and slide.





Even Kodak Yellow is a Pantone.
