[QUOTE="Iconoclysm, post: 3288, member: 189"] They didn't patent the name Rectifier - it's the name of their amplifier line and is therefore trademarked and restricted. If you don't trademark these things, you risk having other companies spoil the reputation of your very own product. In other words, if Line 6 or Randall make a crappy Rectifier module, they can make Mesa's entire line look bad. The story behind the Dual and Triple Rectifier doesn't really relate to this in any way at all. Fact of the matter is that the word Recto is followed by a TM or an R and so is the word Rectifier. If you read the fine print, Mesa says only when used to describe an amplifier MODEL name is it restricted...which is completely legitimate. Fender and Marshall don't allow you to use their model names so why should Mesa? And in the long run, this is all about each companies' lawyers watching out for the best interest of the company...whether you like it or not, that's their job. [/QUOTE]
