Yes . . . the "Contax" name does not belong to Kyocera (Yashica) . . . it 
belongs to the Carl Zeiss Foundation (auf Deutsch: Stiftung).  Kyocera uses 
the Contax name under license from Zeiss, an agreement set up between Zeiss 
and Yashica when the Stiftung folded Zeiss Ikon in the early 1970's.  The 
Carl Zeiss Stiftung has been very protective of its flagship "Contax" 
trademark.
