Going public with his latest company didn't solve his long standing issues with the use and misuse of his trademark and other property rights. Anyone can take a private company public that doesn't resolve any intellectual property matters.

From my observations it wasn't until Amy Boylan came along with her previous experience at Mattel Inc. and the merchandising rights she learned about at mattel that Shelby
finally was able to stop all the companies using the Shelby name on memorabalia and the myriad of different products people were selling with his name and logo on it. She then focused on selling anything and everything with his name on it and generated huge sums of capital for him to build cars along with Ford's funds and input.

Because she knew the right law firm from her experience at Mattel she was able to stop the unauthorized use of the Shelby name and preserve it for whomever he designates the rights after he passes.
