As far as I know, it is, Alan.
I am therefore minded to give up the struggle and dissolve Safir Engineering ltd. ...perhaps Ron might take an unprecedented step of pulling this thread, ...
For a kinda-related issue, see Jim Glickenhaus' experience with attempting (offerring?) to share P4/5C's glories with Ferrari in giving it a name.... http://www.gt40s.com/forum/video-pi...hould-make-ferrari-very-happy.html#post386825 To me this illustrates the "older" owner of the name pretending to be protecting their trademark, etc., when perhaps what is really going on is just an ego problem with "the new guy". Same thing I suspect is going on here.
My intuition is that there won't be any confusion when Andrew goes to market with his frames. Anyone in the market for a GT40 frame is likely to be famiiar with the whole story and isn't going to make something out of "Safir Engineering (Surrey)" beyond what it actually is. It (we?) are a pretty sophisticated market.
