Hi Jim, I'm not sure how that business agreement works, but there is still that potential. I remember Chrysler tried to sue Ghia for the similarities of one of Exner's Chrysler designs to the Type 1 VW Karmann Ghia. Not sure why they didn't go after VW also in that same suit if they held all the rights. I probably would have... and added Karmann to the suit for building it. If you're going for the bux, name everybody! Big "show me the money!"
