Steve,

to assume that simply because part of the name of a product (in this 
case "piezography") is a brand name or even a trademark therefore has 
ANY bearing on whether or not "Piezography Limited" is an independent 
legal entity is a mistake a good first-year law student wouldn't make. 
Whether, for example, the word "Exxon" in "Exxon Premium Unleaded" is  a 
brand-name or trademark is an entirely separate issue than whether 
"Exxon" is a separate legal entity. Many trademarks and brand names are 
held by companies and corporations with unrelated names..

In fact, "Piezography" is a registered trademark of Cone Editions 
Press.  Which IS in Chapter 11.  Of course, that trademark could be 
licensed to "Piezography Limited"

Why the confusion?  Because Cone's own pages have been seemingly 
contradictory on this fact.

Check his old Piezography contact page at:

http://tinyurl.com/5cutx
Note where it says: "Piezography® brand inkjet printing software
and archival supplies are developed exclusively by Piezography, Ltd."?

In fact, "Piezography Ltd" had a booth and a press kit at PMA in 2003.

Now try the current Piezo contact page at:
http://www.piezography.com/contact.html
It says: "Piezography® is a Registered Trademark of Cone Editions Press, 
Ltd."

A similar change is seen at:
<http://www.inkjetmall.com/store/bw/piezobwicc/piezographybwicc-faqs.html>
Where it formerly said
"Piezography, Ltd. Revamps Its Popular..."
It now says:
"Piezography Revamps Its Popular... "


Of course, if you KNOW the answer to my question Steve, please feel free 
to share.

With inkjet storefronts, OEMs, and Jon in particular, I long ago learned 
not to assume anything. That's not a swipe at Jon, what it is, is a 
statement of fact regarding how convoluted: businesses, rebranding, 
trademark, and brand name can become.
