Also, "Treasure Tracker" is a registered trademark of First Texas and is the name of one of their "Bounty Hunter" models. So H3 is not only falsely claiming registered trademarks, they are illegally using someone else's registered trademark.
Here is something interesting about the H3Tec trademark ->
http://www.trademarkia.com/h3-tec-78744490.html

The status is apparently:
"ABANDONED-FAILURE TO RESPOND OR LATE RESPONSE"
The H3Tec trademark is currently available for $159.
