I hope you all read the posting I made about this BS last month on here.
I found this site and it's moving fast. Check it out. This issue will affect your bottom line sooner or later....in $$$ I mean.

I don't know if it will help, but it's worth 2 minutes of your time.

<<Mustang trademark issue being resolved


I met with Jim Owens, Ford's Mustang Marketing Manager, during the Mid-America Shelby Meet in Tulsa this past weekend. I am happy to report that Jim, who had no prior knowledge of the cease and desist letter going out to companies about using word Mustang in their company names, is working with Ford's legal department to resolve the issue. At this point, the cease and desist letter is no longer being sent out and they are trying to figure out how to work with the companies that have received the letter. Nothing official has been drawn up, but it's in the works and I will be sure to let you guys know when it happens. Sounds like they are considering something like a small fee, perhaps just $1, for the use of the name, renewable over a certain amount of time. Of course, companies that are not legit - deceitful, fraudulent, etc. - will still be contacted.

Like I said, it's not official yet, but at least something is in the works to fix the situation.

sounds like someone at ford legal got carried away...or perhaps ford is listening

About 4 or 5 years ago, I received a "cease and desist" letter from ford, becauseI sold some Adobe Illustrator drawn Mustangs to some car clubs to use for their newsletters. They were concerned with anything that would defame Ford or the Mustang. Now why would I do that? I've owned 4 'Stangs in my life - I love the car. If anything, I was helping out Mustang clubs so they could have nice looking art in their publications. Oh well, can't sell 'em anymore... not when you have to pay Ford in excess of $5,000 annually to license with them.

Make this a sticky (as they'll likely come after Mustang Formus next).
