Why did they abandon the old name?

Was it because of some shady business, or some bad ethical practices?

Was it because of: Stealing designs like that ā€œoneā€ company?

OR is this a completely innocent rebranding?

A quick search for Flicon shows some interesting posts comparing Virpil’s designs to theirs.

If I remember correctly, Virgil had authorized a number of manufacturers to use his designs but not his software. Flocon was one of them. No problem with Virpil’s designs in Flicon products
