Thanks for that link! It is nice to know that the trade mark was taken up by ebuyer and not by a Chinese import company. How come English names are associated with bad quality like bankers, cars, electronic goods, Members of Parliament, construction workers ....whereas Japanese and German names are respected? It is understandable that German names are used in their home market as most of their consumer electronics are imported from China and re-branded with German names their. But it is unfair and unethical to use this policy for English company in an English market..these decision makers seemed to brand the English names as less than wholesome and unsaleable and producer of low quality stuff.
