Advios brakes on 2018 RX

I have a 2018 RX AWD, and haven’t ever replaced the brakes. Today I was looking under the car because I got a nail in the inner-side wall of the tire and noticed that it has what I suspect are brakes with the name “ADVIOS”. (Picture attached).

I bought this car new and haven’t ever replaced the breaks.
shouldn’t the Brakes be marked Toyota? Or is Lexus using 3rd party equipment?

The same reason your tires aren’t labeled “Toyota” or “Lexus”

It's actually "Advics" and they are the OEM brakes on Lexus' and Toyotas.
Mrcheap says the same thing about tires.
