You're probably right about the trademark Roger, I do realize that. Perhaps it's better to ask Leica first. Suppose I want to write a book about the Leica M system. It's pretty obvious I'd like to use the Leica logo on the cover. Do you have ask permission for that? Or is it enough to mention that the book contains Leica trademarks? Perhaps Marc James Small can shed some light on this trademark matter? ========= Bert Keuken
