I was always under the belief that protecting the name was pretty important to Steve and he and JZD were close. Considering all of the BS labels put on the Delorean name when it all fell apart and all of the work he and James and the rest have done to bring the car and brand back to respectability speaks volumes to me. But then again, I am not a lawyer and I guess it comes down to whatever arrangement Steve and John had and what can be proven.

it cannot be brought back and registered again and while you can use it if you’d
like, you can’t use it for profit.
I might be wrong though but the fact is that if you look up the original
DMC logo it is listed as “dead”.
And even if all she wants is a piece of the $$$ pie I don’t blame her.
Wouldn’t you do the same? On the other hand I’d like to believe that she might
want to protect the name of John. And what he has created.

Subject: RE: [DML] Re: Is DMCH in trouble? I remember way back in the DML the discussion about the DMC logo
trademark having been abandoned. Does that not open the door for anyone to use
it freely? If that is truly the case I do not see how she can prevent its use.
Also I don't think DMCH had much to do with the Hot Wheels toy other than
perhaps supplying a car for them to use for the model so where would their
problem be simply selling those? Considering how long DMC merchandise has been
flowing freely - some while JZD was still around - I cannot see how she can
suddenly start complaining other than because she sees the potential $$$ going
right past her. I also wonder how Kathryn feels about all of
this. Joe To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 18:04:46 -0800 Subject: [DML] Re: Is DMCH in trouble? True, it's old news, but DMCH has been marketing the DMC
logo and the DeLorean name more than ever before; what with the Hot Wheels cars,
bicycles, and all the other crap. I can see how that changes the situation.
Before it was just selling parts and continuing his dream, but now it's a
business of selling merchandice with the DeLorean name and logo for profit. If I
had the rights to the name, I'd be upset, too.
