I asked Jan off-list about molds, and he confirmed that Compass does in fact own the molds for their tires.  He went on to add that Pacenti sold their molds to Panaracer when they stopped selling tires, which accounts for the name molded into the sidewall of a Panaracer-branded tire.

Speaking of rebranding:

I have handled slick 650b Gravel King tires that have "PACENTI" molded into the sidewall, so maybe Panaracer is reusing the mold of a Pacenti-commisioned tire? It could be a different compound/material though.
