The presentation refers to PDS as the Swiss Army knife of utilities and notes that "Swiss Army" is a trademark of Victronix and its subsidiaries. While true, it should be noted that it is also a trademark of Wenger and its subsidiaries! At
one time the the Swiss government contracted with both of these companies
to produce knives for their army, so both properly claim the right to the
trademark.  Victronix markets the "Original Swiss Army Knife" and Wenger
markets the "Genuine Swiss Army Knife".


Jeff,

Wenger is subsidiary of Victorinox AG, so we've got it right.

Tom Conley
