It's true, SONY has no patent on the shape of a memory stick as it is a 
media format that is produced by more than one manufacturer (see here for 
example a memory stick made by Sandisk 
http://evnet.trustpass.alibaba.com/product/11215885/Sandisk_Memory_Stick_512MB_PRO_Due.html)

So reincluding the memory stick clipart without the SONY logo and the MS 
logo is the right thing to do. If someone would then need to add the logos 
to that clipart, he can do this by itself (see here:
