I wonder if Tormach called up the Pilot Pen company and said they were going to be making a product with Pilot in the name? Remember the original Palm Pilot PDA? Pilot Pen sued and the settlement included transitioning away from having Pilot in the name. IMHO, Pilot Pen would have been better off taking advantage of the commonality and producing a line of luxury combination stylus/pens, naming the line Pilot for Palm Pilot. ;) But usually companies go for the lawsuit first and never bother to think about taking advantage of an opportunity. Look up how Apple handed the Brazilian computer market to PC clones when they stomped Unitron into the mud instead of doing a licensed production deal to get around Brazil's computer import ban (lifted in 1992) and incorporating Unitron's smart people into their R&D system. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
