I think you fail to understand the basiscs about how IKEA is put together. The brand is not owned by the parent company:

So when you do something with the IKEA brand and furniture all kinds of 'reasonably considerations' that would flow from brand being owned by the mothership go right out the window.

Likely the only kind of employee the brand company has is IP lawyers.
