But the change in the Lindner Quality Control Stamp(LQCS) is going to be the apex of the APUN - patent protection period; the new rules change & the origin point for export/import law. Suhl really didn't know where they were(didn't have an Identity) & they used I think 3 locales: Prussia, Saxony & Thuringia before they settled on one.
