Abstract
Examples are given of legendrian links in the manifold of cooriented contact elements of the plane, or equivalently, in the 1-jet space of the circle which are not equivalent via an isotopy of contact diffeomorphisms. These examples have generalizations to linked legendrian spheres in contact manifolds diffeomorphic to R-n x Sn-1. These links are distinguished by applying the theory of generating functions to contact manifolds.
