It is my understanding that if you have a trademark (or copyright), it is the owners RESPONSIBILITY to protect it. If the owner fails to acknowledge it's unauthorized use by others, without sending some sort of letter asking them to stop, the owner loses their rights! (I'm sure a lawyer could word this much better.) In my opinion, if DMCH even remotely thinks they might own the logo, it is their responsibility to actively safe guard it. (So don't take cease and desist letters too personally. Any logo owner is required to be diligent about this. Yes, ownership (of anything!) can be a big pain to keep up with! I personally like the idea of someone owning the logo. (As long as the owner would never passively allow it to be used to hurt the reputation of our cars, like permitting DM-Cocaine tshirts, etc. to by manufactured, for example.) What's to object with, #1.Asking permission? #2.Paying a licensing fee? Just my opinion. No legal experience, but I do love my DeLorean!:) Oliver Holler VIN#10694 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
