Generally, in the USA, if a brand-identified product is used
in media in its ordinary way for its ordinary purpose,
there is no need to obtain permission.
However, were there a likely confusion regarding
sponsorship or endorsement, then permission might be helpful
to obtain in advance. This is a general comment,
particular facts may change the general rule.
