Perhaps a joint venture >between Zeiss and Leica? What could be next---the straps? Nah. The basic cloth "technology" is fairly old, and is from the US. But the Japanese first thought of selling bits of the material for lens-cleaning. I understand most of the cloth is actually US-made but who knows? Mayhaps it comes from Kosovo. There's no "licensing" involved, incidentally, as no patents were taken out. So you too can market your own "Roy J Feldman Micro-Fibre Cleaning Cloth", perhaps with a cute picture of your dog or some other appropriate logo.
