Well, I think that the changes need to be to an extent
where the new logo can not be construed to represend
the original item. Logo infringement is all about the
dillution of brand recognition. In this case, it is
clear that these if a level of confusion between the
Newton logo and this other company. I just threw up
the page: http://newton.tek-ed.com/blatant.html to
illustrate that there is no difference in the logos in
the very least!
