Fred Gibb trademark

[sYc]

Been suggested, and who knows? But right now my concern is helping Helen protect the Gibb mark.

As of this afternoon, it appears Valerie Harrell is still seeking the rights to the Fred Gibb name and logo. Copied from the U.S. Trademark website.

Not for sure at this point, except reassuring Helen she is not in this fight alone.

[Pantera]

Would a letter writing campain from members on this forum and/or others in the hobby affect the courts decision?

I feel it could show that there is a interest in doing something that is fair and right.

If the applications are not withdrawn and the case goes to a hearing, yes, that would probably help.

Why can't everybody just ease up and not be so worried about money. After all that is what disputes like this are basically all about. If you are doing the correct things, with respect, the money will come.

Money rules this hobby absolutely these days. In the era of $800,000 ZL-1's and $200,000 Yenkos, these are no longer referred to as fast,fun cars but as investments. The "hobby" factor is over. Especially for the little guy that works a regular job and could never save up enough money to own his dream car. When the obscene amounts of money came into the picture, everybody wanted in on it and morals just went down the proverbial toilet. How did I miss the point in time where a '69 Camaro is worth more than most homes. I've always been convinced that more money is acquired by ill means than honest ones. The key to material wealth is self-preservation and not to be concerned with "hurting someone's feelings". If this is you and you can sleep well at night, then congrats. Don't forget the old adage, "nice guys finish last". And they don't get rich either.

Being a relative newcomer.........by reading what is going on here, it's seems that Val was going in the right direction in the beginning, but was influenced by outside forces (DP) to change directions.......could be very wrong......but "that's my view and I'm sticking to it" (Jimmy Buffett)
