Hi Barbara Made in U.S.A. should be visible when unit is assembled, if possible. It is my understanding that we place periods between USA when we state Made in U.S.A. to eliminate confusion. Someone told me once, there is a Swiss company named USA. Is this so ? ?

Here's my $0.02: The minimum required marking would be the copyright symbol ("c" with a circle"), the date (year), and the company name. Where space is not critical, you can put "COPYRIGHT" in front of the copyright symbol. Remember the copyright only protects how the board looks, not the circuit design itself (in the USA, may or may not apply the same in other countries). As far as country of origin, all you need is "Made in U.S.A." This is only for products that are shipped outside of the USA, and where the board assembly itself would be returned, to make it easier to get such an assembly back through US Customs. If the board is an integral part of another assembly, the note would not be needed. Roger M. Stoops, C.I.D., PCB Designer Trimble Engineering and Construction Division 5475 Kellenburger Rd.
