I think you are mistaken. Robert Kaufman owns the trademark for "KONA" for use on fabric. That means no one else can use that single word for fabric. Someone can use the single word, "KONA" for coffee or software, but not for fabric. To do so is a criminal offense, the same as selling knock off Nike sneakers.

Besides that, their representative called me to tell me that the fabric that I bought at Hobby Lobby was not Kona. (I had previously sent a 3" X3" square to the address listed on their website.) He made a point of telling me they sold to both JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby.
