My take is that Dillahunty is an ambulance-chaser and "EMI" (I thought that they had something to do with music royalties?) may very well represent Lockheed in trademark matters. Although they may legally have the right to question your "P-38", pursuing such a small fish is ethically bankrupt. You could contact Lockheed, but I doubt that they would know-- or care-- what their agent is doing on this issue. I'd call "EMI" and work up the food chain from this bottom-feeder and talk to a higher-up.
I don't recall if this has been mentioned, but have any of the other scale kit/ scale plans/ scale model/ scale documentation suppliers been contacted by this company? The P-38-- and other warbirds-- are popular models. It might be cost-effective to refer this to your-- or your "trade association's" counsel. Or to AMA/IMAA (ha ha). This issue is small potatoes to DJA, but has far-reaching implications to the modelling community. --Bill >From: "Don Stackhouse @ DJ Aerotech" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], > [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [RCSE] Product licensing nightmare (long, but important) >Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 16:25:32 -0400 > >This matter potentially affects all modelers and model companies involved >with scale model aircraft. > >Approximately two weeks ago we were contacted by a Mr. David Dillahunty, >allegedly of "Equity Management, Inc."... <snip> _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
