Fluke taking the Mickey?!

I just found this article on +HACKADAY :
http://hackaday.com/2014/03/19/multimeters-without-a-country-flukes-broad-trademark-bans-yellow-multimeter-imports/

It basically outlines the RIDICULOUS blanket block on the import of SparkFun's DMM, because - get this: It has a Yellow frame with a Black face!

Sparkfun's hobbyist DMM

Fluke 17B - looks slightly similar 

Apparently: Fluke own this colour scheme as a trademark, and as such Sparkfun have supposedly "infringed" on this trademark and customs have seized them coming into the states.
Customs letter to Sparkfun

Now I'm not a law expert...BUT THIS IS ABSURD!

I'm sure Fluke are not at fault here, It's probably the over zealous customs officers following the letter of the law a step too far! I doubt they know what a DMM does let alone define a Fluke from a non-name brand! Seriously - a lack of knowledge is not an excuse to rule over someone else's business! SHAK' YER 'ED U.S. CUSTOMS!

But also: trade marking Yellow and black! WTF?! who else you gonna block cos they used yellow and black? JCB? CAT?

Oh we can't let this in!
Why Not?
Cos its black and yellow, its got the same colour scheme as a wasp!
......its a BLOODY DIGGER!

UPDATE - 21/03/2014

Fluke have been helping Sparkfun out with the loss of their multimeters by giving them some Flukes to sell. Nice one Fluke. 

As I expected: US customs are being, well lets call a spade a spade here: a bunch of dicks.
