π Speakers is a federally registered trademark, registration number 78037535. But I've had many unregistered marks too, some that I've registered after a period of time. The π trademark was like that, unregistered for many years before I registered it. So I'm sympathetic to owners of unregistered trademarks.

I run into situations like yours from time to time. Sometimes DIY'ers will build speakers they describe as π clones or whatever. It can be a problem for me if they deviate substantially and then their speaker may or may not perform the same. That's the biggest concern of the trademark holder, that there might be public confusion. So I understand your concern.
