I would suggest that you misunderstood the gist of my response Ed. As has been posted on this an other lists and the EU amongst other countries have stated publicly as of last month and the relevant URL was posted to these lists as well, Jurisdiction of of little concern with respect to TM's. This is of course a very recent event, to which may have escaped your and many others attention. As I recall there was some concerned discussion on these relevant lists when that URL was posted. Hence my reply. Of course I can fully understand that the ramifications of that announcement is not yet widely known and that it may yet to be completely understood to date. None the less, it is in legal effect. See DOC/DOJ notices for further clarification.... I hope this will be helpful to you in the future and adjust you thinking accordingly. > > > Cheers, > > Ed Gerck Kindest Regards, -- Jeffrey A. Williams CEO/DIR. Internet Network Eng/SR.
