It is my understanding that is the reason Carrol Shelby has not prevailed in his lawsuits over the "Cobra" name. Apparently he allowed replica manufacturers to offer products with that name for too long before he decided to attempt to raise funds for his cardiac related endeavors through the lawsuits.

It was a great case of "You snooze, you lose"!
