There are no federal laws in the USA governing partnerships.
It may be covered by some state law where Mouser is incorporated.
The issue is trademark infringement. *Something most companies
take quite seriously.

So did Mouser assist you in the design, or put up money to market

Commander... Like I said earlier... the dictionary defines partner
as "One that is united or associated
with another or others in an activity or a sphere of common
interest." I guess you're not able to comprehend that sentence. Not
really surprising. If you're looking for an argument... I only argue
with worthwhile adversaries... lol

Perhaps Mouser should be informed of this claim to partnership. They
may very interested.

Maybe not "informed" but ask people THERE, at Mouser, what their
"definition" of _partner_ is and then tell them about this guy.

"Dictionary" definitions should not be confused with word usage within
contexts that alter the meaning of words. For example, the word
_sterilize_ has a different meaning in banking/finance compared to
microbiology.

In a business context, "partners" *generally implies that an ongoing
relationship exists by virtue of a written contract. If party A buys
parts from party B, and pays for those parts with money, that
establishes a provider-customer relationship, not a partnership.- Hide quoted text -

Trademark infrindgement was there complaint against me. I was young
and more foolish than I am now and thought the little blurb on my
shingle would be funny and no one would even notice. They noticed and
didnt think my humor was that funny. For me it only took about 10
minutes and some black paint to remedy the problem.
