| Reference: Wirth versus Hirth Reference information: In the case of registered trade-marks, some denominations are voluntarily distorted to avoid a possible law suit on trade-mark infringement, when the part or component being used is not original. So caution might be advised before superseding Wirth with Hirth, unless Hirth is proved a typo |
