Sorry about my old sticker design...

Copyright law says that it cannot be an exact copy of anothers work.

I'm glad you said this. How can they possibly state that the reason for the problem is the bolt face in the design when that exact part is public domain? It's not like they took this part as a base and made some unique changes to it and you copied those in your interpretation of a public domain part. The part of the logo in question doesn't even look the same. To me this is sabre rattling and I personally wouldn't cave. I've stood up as an individual against MUCH larger global companies who had a better case than this which I won so I wouldn't let the chest puffing scare you. That's just me though because I really feel the original logo was the best by far and has at least three differentiating pieces which would make it enough as to not confuse others.

By the way, the company was Osram, parent company of Sylvania and I told their team of lawyers to pound sand (after research on my part) and modified their cease & desist order to benefit me and countered and said that was my one and ONLY offer to settle this. They claimed their client may not agree & I stated they would be doing them a disservice if they allowed them to believe they could do any better and what do ya know... they agreed. If you saw some of the claims and threats they made initially though I can see where people would panic and do whatever they said to make it all go away.

I wasn't part of any original discussion of this topic since I didn't know about it so this is my part on that subject speaking from personal experience.

please don't roll over. fight these greedy bastards.

This.
