Usually, a Brand is the manufacturer or packer of a specific product. For example, Apple is a brand that manufactures laptops. A Brand is not necessarily the Manufacturer of an Item, it's only the name under which a product is sold. For example, if you manufacture plastic cups, you may license it to a big brand so that they sell it under their Brand.
In ERPNext, Brands can be assigned to Items for identifying and assigning certain defaults.
