Yes its registred and thats what I said.

Remember that the issue was about a "rebranding" and not about the violation of copyright or trademarks...

I said that if you want to use the name of the product in a splash screen, you have to use the official logo, not a different fox (rebranded fox).


>I don't know. The Foxhead logo is also a registered trademark. However, look at www.foxite.com.

>>But the VFP brand include the fox head graphical representation and I think this is where the re-branding occur. You can not alter the registred logo, and using the fox picture was in fact a rebranding (redesign) of the official fox logo.

>>The use of a capture of the VFP splash screen (instead of a fox picture) may not have cause this legal problem????

>>Thats just my feeling about this...
