 * It says right in the article and the sources. Macotta is the copyrighted name of a building material which consists of huge concrete slabs, coated with porcelain enamel, and edged in stainless steel. "Maul Macotta" is the name the the company in Detroit that owns the copyright, and holds an assignment of the patents to it. . There are a number of patents for this stuff, held by Peter Maul, and assigned to the Maul Macotta Company.  Hence, "Maul Macotta". Fladrif (talk) 20:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
