The U.S. patent enumerated on the Dynaplug instructions I posted above has claims directed to a repair kit, not a plug itself. See
8707829 (uspto.gov)
A Dynaplug repair kit loaded with a non-branded plug may fall within the scope of the claims, but loading a non-branded plug into a Dynaplug repair kit is likely permissible repair with respect to this patent, if the plugs themselves are not separately patented.
