Last year it was mp3 patents, this year it is a trademark dispute:
To Whom it May Concern:
It has recently come to our attention that four of your products, dbPowerAMP Audio Player, dbPowerAMP Music Converter, dbPowerAMP CD Writer and dbPowerAMP Portable Audio are infringing on our AMP® trademark (see attached U.S. registration details).
"AMP", the AMP logo, and the "Advanced MultiMedia Products" brand name are trademarks of PlayMedia Systems, Inc. and/or its corporate affiliates (Advanced Multimedia Partners).
Only publishers of those products which contain our proprietary AMP® MP3 decoding engine OR who are properly licensed by us may use the trademark "AMP" as a component of their own product/service marks.
Therefore, I am hereby requesting (1) that you provide me with information regarding your business relationship with the website "Codec Central" or others who may be involved in the "Illustrate" enterprise, as it is presently unclear to me precisely WHO controls dbPowerAMP and whether Codec Central is, therefore, potentially infringing on our trademark as well, and (2) that you provide me with contact information regarding "Illustrate" personnel for contact purposes.
PlayMedia will be sending to all parties concerned a formal Cease and Desist letter explaining our position on this legal issue, and want to make sure that only the appropriate parties are brought into this matter.
More to follow. In the mean time, I may be reached any time by the following contact methods.
Thank you for your assistance with respect to this matter (which I hope can be resolved amicably).
Sincerely Yours,
