One year at photokina the people who make the Pelican cases got there  
to find that all of their samples had been confiscated by German  
customs.  It seems the German company Pelikan that makes pens and ink  
had complained of trademark infringement.  Similarly, how could  
anyone confuse those hard camera cases with pens and ink????  It  
didn't matter to the German authorities.  Weird.
