[ROVERNET - UK] Trade mark

[Dirk Burrowes]

Yes, technically your friend is right he cannot reproduce a commercial
registered logo without violating trademark laws or permission from the
trade mark holder. However most companies who own logos are smart about
sueing people who are really promoting not trying to steal. If the intent is
to promote the true spirit of MG then it is VERY doubtful the owner of the
logo would mind. In fact it is adding value. And a few shirts for a car club
never even come on the radar anyway.

It is a calculated risk I would be willing to take.

Dirk

We have been asked to publicize a couple of Rovers for
sale in Atlanta, Georgia.

One is a 1967 example and the other is a NADA Series 2
1971 Rover (1 of 222 he says).

More information is available on our website.
The owner will be away until August 20 so don't expect
a quick answer if you write to his address.

A friend asked me a simple question.. I thought.. until I reflected on the 
response to..What oil filter should I use in my car?... Anyway; he 
represents an MG club in the US, and was interested in having some T-Shirts 
made that incorporated the MG Logo. The T shirt maker said he was not 
allowed to reproduce the MG Logo. I told my friend he should make them 
himself until the Chinese Government sent him a cease and desist order, then

stop. More seriously, what would be the answer to this question? James Dean,

Ft. Lauderdale.
