I'm very sorry to hear that the inclusion of these patches makes you feel
that this package is no longer ion3.

I did have a quick look through the US Patent and Trademark website and I
couldn't find your specific trade mark.  Could you refer me to the serial
number to check it out?  I just want to make sure that you're making a
legitimate claim.  I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with the finish
trademark system.
