All - In addition to all of the other comments (all essentially true), I would like to clarify one issue, touched on by Rich Nute, but not made as clear as could be. The backwards UR ligature is copyrighted by UL and can not be applied to a product certified by another NRTL, without violating that copyright. I'm certain the same can be said for each certification mark of each NRTL.
