V@lkswagen Vanag@n  vs  Volkswagen Vanagon
I've seen a problem like this before in other areas and people just had to get
creative in their usage.   It's done all the time.
BTW: Look at food products that call themselves "lite"  They have no set
standard that they need to adhere to. "Lite" is not a real word so they can
assign any meaning they want to it.  And if the public happens to mistake it
for "light" meaning less in calories or fat or cholesterol...too bad.
or, I've seen a product called Just Pik't orange juice.  Now, they couldn't
call it "Just Picked" because it wasn't picked recently enough to justify a
"Just" .  But "Just Pik't" sounds like "just picked" when you say it  but the
speaker of the phrase has legal safety net so you've gotten across the concept
of freshness, without leagally having to substantiate it.  Ain't this country
great!  D*MN Right it is.
I'd double check this loophole with an expert before proceeding, because while
I fancy myself a wiseass and a gadfly, I ain't no lawyer.
