As an addendum, I think you are off the mark. The trademark is irrelevant
to how anyone makes their horns. This is an application for a trademark not
a patent, isn't it?
You might be missing Bob`s point. If someone patents the name Geyer, no maker
will be able to use that name in association with their own instrument
without paying a royalty.For instance, Holton, Yamaha, Conn, and custom makers will
not be able to refer to their horns as a Geyer style horn without paying for
that privilege.
I`ve heard that John Lennon copy righted "Happy Birthday" and that is why
chain restaurants sing those hokey birthday songs instead of Happy Birthday".
