When I was on vacation in Normandy last year I visited the distillery in Fécamp. I learned that Bénédictine was so popular that a lot of other distilleries created counterfeits with similar branding. Apparently Alexander Legrande was one of the first businessman to internationally patent bottle design trademarks and aggressively prosecute against knock offs.
