[ QUOTE ]
I'm just guessing here but the cost of litigation for the hundreds of violations a year would be staggering. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img] GM and other large Corporations can afford this but the Yenko family may be overwhelmed by it all. I bet they've attempted to protect their name & found out how much money it can cost. It's a shame a judge or two hasn't slammed a few people for it. It would make others gun shy, I would think. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] You have hit the nail on the head. The Yenko family simply got to the point of why bother. Not as much as about $$, but time. To me, use of the Yenko name is more of a case of doing the right thing, regardless of who has what rights. IMO, Don's daughters should control and be compensated any time the Yenko is used (as it applies to hi-performace cars). But, in this day and time, where associating the Yenko name to a product can increase its value 2-3 times or more, doing the right thing is forgotten more times then not.
