Passo a publicidade

English translation: no publicity intended

Portuguese term or phrase: Passo a publicidade
This is a typical Portuguese expression said after using a copyright name that belongs to another company. It's a way of saying that it's not my product, that it belongs to the mentioned company.

i.e. 'Esta prancha vem de uma empresa americana, *****, passo a publicidade'.

Is there an expression I could use in English that would mean the same. I can't remember any right now.

Thanks in advance for your help!
