Do all breast implants have brand name and serial number as well as size in cc's imprinted on them?

If so, in what year did this start? I'm interested in Mentor specifically. My first set came out with only the size. No other information was on them. Thank you in advance.

Implants only come with the size on them. There is paperwork in the box with the serial number but it is not on the actual implant.
