There's generally a lot of confusion about IP and trademarks and other
such protections. 

You can't make your own drink and call it Coca-Cola, but you can
refer to the Coca-Cola product using the trademark without requesting
permission.

Similarly, you are allowed to use the APRS trademark to refer to APRS, 
without any requirement to get permission. If your product works with APRS

or is compatible with APRS then you may use the mark, in commercial
applications.

You may not use the trademark to represent something that is not APRS
though.
