It's important to the company that they maintain their trademarks. People don't seem to realize that if they don't, they can lose their rights to them. The thing that seems to put the burden of all this clearly on the shoulders of the lawyers is the fact that we don't see the same degree of hysteria from Chevy or Ford. Think of how may shops there are around the country that incorporate the word Corvette in their name. Has Chevrolet started a campaign against them? I think VWoA is getting bad advice from their lawyers, who are just promoting business for themselves. In the end this is a bad business move and will hurt VW in both the long and short run. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
