My ex-wife is a chemist, she gaurds her "intellectual" property very closely. But many times it is complex to determine where to draw the line. Even if it IS an original idea, is it worth the trouble of protecting it, or is it better just to "share" it with others.
Filing for the name/idea IS the key! I can easily understand the name "Cobra" being protected by Ford (who OWNS the name). Shelby SOLD it to them.
You think Crosely deserves ANY recognition at all? I don't! But it's an interesting footnote in history and MAY have been the inspiration for a dream!
