Just some of my thoughts about Mike`s tubes analogy - "New Sensor" company bought various old tube company names - Mullard, Tung-Sol, Svetlana
Then started producing tubes under those names, more or less copies of the old designs, sometimes not even close to the original products. Some other companies also copied old designs. Common sense (and Law) says that some other company can`t name their tubes "Mullard" or so, but CAN says in description of the product/commercial: "based on the old Mullard design", "close copy of short plate `60s Mullard *** tube", "our, improved version of Mullard EL34 fX2 design", or so.
But, it`s more question for (specialized) lawyers then for audio hobbists. We can only says what we think about those practices...
