Please explain how it is different.

That was explained upthread. If I created a gadget for use on a motorcycle and sold that gadget to Harley-Davidson for them to add to their line of motorcycles, that's perfectly legal, because that's a business to business sale, and my patent and copyright is not being infringed upon. If I altered their logo, or they altered mine that's not legal. They own that logo, and I own mine. That's why, when you look in my parents car, the car radio has a BOSE logo on it, becaus BOSE made that radio and sold it to Cadillac to install in their cars.

Sure but that is not what we are talking about. That would be fraud if you modified it and tried to pass off the original item as something other than what it is. Nobody is alleging fraud in this discussion. Everyone is admitting what the end product is.

The reason it has a BOSE logo is because they can charge a premium price over a radio that has a Cadillac logo or a MingLee Fujian Industries logo... even if all three are exactly the same and made by the same OEM.
