The name Brand MOOG is no longer a registered trademark,even the late Bob Moog doesnt own the Name and its his Company that made them!!!!
hence why he called a lot of His products under the Big briar Name
The name Logo "Moog" was used by another company after Moog folded,they bought the rights to the name after it was considered abandoned due to Bob Folding
this company did eventually remake the Minimoog (a midi version) and the named it Minimoog which they had the rights,to thats why when Bob moog made the Voyageur,he called it Minimoog voyaguer
Bob Moog did apply back to the Trademark name "Minimoog" but sadly couldnt get the name "Moog" back and only as a Trademark not a corporate Logo,so i think he had to use the name Bob Moog instruments or something..and trade as Moog music Inc.I think he is still trying to get the trademark back,although sadly now he's deceased i Doubt they'll bother,everyone knows the Company brand anyway as Moog Music inc
I would say they never covered it up because as a Company brand Logo Moog no longer exists,so doesnt confirm to corporate advertising,but i would have thought given that Jarre covered up the Memory Moog logo,they Probably just forgot the Minimoog logo
its now known as Moog Music Inc.which under copyright law is a totally seperate Company to the one named under just plain"Moog"(although we all know its the genuine Moog manufacturers and Bobs company
theres a company in the UK called MOOG,possibly why Bob couldnt buy his logo name back as it had probably been sold to this company

Heres a Quote from Bob Himself
IN A NAME?
"I sold my interest in Moog Music in 1978 and after that, the company continued for a few more years, then ran down. A few years ago, there was no business activity whatsoever coming out of the old Moog Music and the company was getting rid of all the old service inventory, showing signs that they were about to abandon the use of that trademark. Now, under US trademark law, if you stop using a trademark, it lapses and is considered to be abandoned. That's what Moog Music did.
"A man called Don Martin applied to register the Moog trademark, which ordinarily, he would be entitled to do, but there's another aspect to US trademark law in cases where the trademark is the name of a well known person and where use of that trademark might confuse the public as to whether or not that person was involved. That's where we are now -- Don Martin applied for use of the trademark first, and I've subsequently applied for use of the trademark, so we have to wait for a legal resolution.
"I've registered the Moog trademark in France and Germany and applied for it in a number of other European countries, but the situation is rather different in the UK where another party has claimed the right to my name. That's a problem for us right now, and again we will have to wait for a legal resolution
) that he has used black tape to cover the names of the synths? Does anybody know why?
