YKK Group is a manufacturor of generic zippers from Japan. If your jeans or clothes were higher dollar, they will usually have the maker's brand on them, especially when a zipper is not a common size or specially made for the item.
This knowledge is from 5 years in an alteration shop repairing zippers, among other things, and buying them in bulk from YKK.

Founded in Japan in 1934, YKK was called Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikikaisha, but 60 years later the company changed its company name to match its brand name. The privately held YKK Co. is headquartered in Japan and is made up of 80 companies at 206 facilities in 52 countries. YKK makes the entire zipper including the dyed cloth and the brass used to make the zipper.

I believe it is the standard used for that zipper. You know like the teeth spacing and the way it latches.
