[asterisk-biz] VS-1T Claiming "Trademark" on Hardware

[The VoIP Connection]

The trademark protects our name.  It doesn't stop anyone from building a
similar device but it would give us some legal remedy if you called it a
VS-1.  Maybe Bret can give Manny the quick rundown on trademark law?
 
You can copy the box but you still won't have a VS-1.  A big part of what
makes a VS-1 is the software in it and the company that stands behind it.
 
BTW, We don't use AMP and we don't use Astlinux.  -Mike

Bill,

Well, it's pretty much impossible to argue with that assertion. I would not
claim that it isn't obvious, only that it's a good idea and we did it first.


My main point is that it can be tricky to make these things work properly,
and we have a production tested product.

Your device looks like a good product.  But I suspect that many, if not most
of the subscribers to this list regard the concept as pretty obvious.  I
think you are indulging in a conceit to declare the Xorcom device to be an
imitation of your product, regardless of how long you've been selling it.

The TS-1 is a pretty transparent attempt to cash in on the success of our
VS-1 Asterisk Voice Server.  Of course, imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery, but flash-based systems have to be designed correctly or they
won't last.  If you want something that has been proven in production for
almost two years now, take a look at the original:

These machines have enough horsepower to handle a small business. The VS-1
provides additional storage for configuration, voicemail, CDR's, log files,
etc. -Mike

This unit looks nice:
 
http://www.xorcom.com/ts-1/features.html
 
It's not very powerful but I'm sure it's more than enough as 
a clever SOHO end point, say to manage SIP phones properly. 
You probably still have to do voicemail IP-centrex style though.
 
Any ideas about pricing?
 
Cheers,
Jean-Michel.
