You just have to releasing a new amp at th time and switch the name just before print when a "special" opportunity arises!thearmofbarlow wrote:You can't trademark a word in that manner.

In fact, the release of the name "Express" after Kens passing is very suspicious. Maybe they don't know that a friend and accountant of the family is a very loyal to Ken's legacy and will defend it.

And there's nothing suspicious about the usage of the word express. Unless you think they managed to come up with a design and market it in the less than one month since Ken's passing in order to capitalize on it.
Disliking Mesa is one thing. Just keep it in the realm of plausible reasons. There are plenty of those.
Happens all the time in big business!
