Yes a cash register company in Europe bought the HP calculator lineup and IP and produces them today. They have slightly changed, for example the battery compartment is now secured by a screw. The owner of Moravia (who bought HP calculators) is himself a personal fan of HP calculators which is how the brand got saved from being scrapped entirely. Many people hope they will bring back the 50g or something using RPL.

SwissMicros calculators are also now the host of a Free Software HP48/50G clone effort that is quite far along and usable already.
