Not at all.

They were paying royalties to the inventor of the SuperLink in order to sell the PowerLink.
The patent is for a reusable link.

Then they got the idea to do an end-run around the patent by modifying it to make it difficult to remove, and declaring it to be non-reusable.
And the name was changed to PowerLock.
