Great find Marty. A big whiff here by Ford.
Thanks. What a GREAT headline from the original post.
Funny, their brand is so key to them that youd think theyd try and protect it more.
I am an admin at www.focaljet.com and we are having a discussion about this as well. Check out our thread. http://forums.focaljet.com/team-pit-stop/570578-ford-still-owns-my-car.htmlWe are having a hard time with this one as well. Glad to see that its all resolved now though. WHEW!!!
No - sorry, Ford is in the right.A company looks to protect its brand - the brand is controlled and directed by the company, not the consumers.To allow people to make money directly from your trademark just isnt a sane company policy.2c.
Ford may be in the right but they could have handled this one a little better instead of reacting to the negative press.We have a few people that we can contact in Ford to ask before we print anything. If the Stang guys did the same this all might have been avoided.
