Patents and trade marks can be an over-rated pastime too. I remember learning that lesson at an early age, when American made "PARKER 51 Pens were the object of envy just after WWII. Almost before the peace was signed some enterprising Oriental gentleman had incorporated a company called P.Arker 51 and located it in a new town called Usa in Japan. You needed a magnifying glass to spot the period or absence of periods. Europe was flooded with such products with everyone keen to buy, after the hardship of 7 years of war.. Always read the fine print. Cheers

sorry for the delay in responding. There is definitely trademark issues regarding these "logo's". One of them is Sirius diamonds using the polar bear, as it is the logo of the NWT, can one trademark something that is the logo of an entire region and what are the implications? There are also issues regarding the marketing strategy of this company, you as many others have been deceived into thinking that if a Canadian diamond doesn't have a polar bear it can't be Canadian. This isn't true. There are many respected companies purchasing Canadian rough and marketing it as such. Sirius is just the first Canadian rough manufacturer in Canada. cutz
