I just noticed, the WCC logo has the VW Porsche emblem in it. I know from a while back VW was going bonkers on use of its trademark VW logo, suing or threatening lawsuits unless users (abusers???) paid up. It hit the VW aftermarket industry hard, real horror stories. Companies that even used photos of real VW cars had to delete the logo's from the photos, clubs also were hit, as were websites.
Maybe they have laid off, maybe thay just haven't noticed. I heard also that Porsche was going after trademark infringement also, but not to the degree that VW has, and we got both logos in the WCC logo! Anyone hear of this being a problem? |

This is a subjectthat really gets me hot under the collar. We use the logos and names as a source of "pride" and promotion of the companies yet they want us to stop? It is free advertising and promotion of there products for crying out loud! Sure people are making $ off of stickers, t-shirts etc. but the corp. isn't making these products to sell to us, so what's the freekin problem. We do drive and werk on
Porsches and Volkswagen don't we? But we can't use the logo to promote events or clubs that appreciate the makes? I got my dander up when this happend and went out and took the Porsche badge off of my 924 (not that it deserves it anyway) VW is still a great company to me despite there a-holeness (?), but Porsche has completely left what Ferdinand started the company out as. Race on Sunday, Sell on Monday went by the wayside when SUV's became the new rage. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) Porsche you are a disgrace to the name. Will I be sued for typing Porsche? Porsche Porsche Porsche Porsche I'm going to go take a couple Kava Kava and a shot of Jose to calm down now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) |
