Yes, that is correct there is an individual I believe to live in Tennessee
who copyrighted the
Mark and since McCoy never did  register the Mark is now producing not only
reproductions of the McCoy but putting the Mark on Cookie Jars such as the
Little Red Riding Hood that was made by/for Hull Pottery and selling them.
The Items such as this should have a copyright symbol on the jar also which
is a small circle with a c inside the circle.  If you are a purist then
have caution in the purchase of items to make sure it is a McCoy and not a
repro.  If you want an item that you could not find otherwise than the
repro may be for you.  There are a lot of people including the McCoy family
(of the Nelson McCoy Pottery) that detest the reproductions.  Cheers!  Terry
