Swiss buys the rights for the Swissair name

As can be read here: http://bazonline.ch/wirtschaft/unter...story/31437367

Short resume: Swiss buys the Swissair name rights. Not necessarily to use it, but to avoid that someone else could buy and use it. No money is paid, but Swiss renounces all pending claims they still have vs the bankrupt Swissair (approx. worth 10 mio CHF).
