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? |

It's kind of comforting, in a way, to know that Porsche ran into the same sort of thing themselves way back when.
In 1955, they offered the 356 with fender badges carrying the 'Continental" script, in the same cursive style (more or less) as the Speedster or Carrerra script. When Ford found about it, they demanded that Porsche stop badging the cars as Continentals, as Ford had big plans to re-issue the Continental themselves for the following model year. The genuine "Continental" 356 Porsches (verified by the VINs) are worth a bit more now because of the small production run. Now Ford's going after the Cobra replica manufactures, and Porsche is going after everyone else. There's no getting away from it, I guess. |
