Although I am not an attorney, I think I can safely and accurately say
that a Trade Mark does not stop one from manufacturing a "like" or
identical product. That is the role of a Patent.
A trade Mark is protection of a Name Such as Mc Donalds, or Coca Cola.
Pepsi can Make a Cola exactly like Coca Cola, unless there is a patent
on the Recipie. The trademark means that Pepsi Can not call that product
Coca Cola.

The trademark protects our name. It doesn't stop anyone from
building a similar device but it would give us some legal remedy
if you called it a VS-1. Maybe Bret can give Manny the quick
rundown on trademark law?
You can copy the box but you still won't have a VS-1. A big part
of what makes a VS-1 is the software in it and the company that
stands behind it.
BTW, We don't use AMP and we don't use Astlinux. -Mike
