Are you a UP attorney? I'll take a personal injury plaintiff's counsel any day. At least they fight for the little guy.. If UP wants o destroy the model railroafd industry, OK but they mightr as well cut up the #844 while they're at it because their bad image couldn'n get much worse at that point. Perhaps a token fee could be paid to protect their "real" businesses but they would be making a reakl mistake if they want to use this as a revenue stream.or to even come clost to breaking even on it, This is just anoujer example of Corporate America's arrogance. [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dehusman What people forget is that the railroad isn't just boxcars and engines. The UP is and has been communications companies, logistics companies, software developers, truck lines, air frieght, airlines, land developers, ski resorts, cement plants, coal mines, and telephone companies just to name a few. While you may think that just because the Denver South Park and Pacific stopped running trains 100 years ago its gone, I can assure you that someplace in the vaults of the UP there are contracts, deeds and obligations of the DSP&P that are in full legal force. The UP didn't trademark its logos because of model trains, it trademarked its logos to protect its real businesses. If you think "fallen flag" trademarks are up for grabs, try starting an automobile company and calling it "Oldsmobile". That's a fallen flag. Which will be the larger: the number of GM lawyers that show up on your doorstep or the number of minutes it takes them to get there? Dave H. [/quote]
