A licensed manufacturer has permission from the rights holder to make and sell products using the Labyrinth name, characters, artwork, or other protected material.

A collaborator usually means there was more of a joint creative or commercial effort between two companies or brands. Both names may be emphasized, and each side contributes something distinctive to the final product.
