rumor control--has SAAC lost its use of Shelby name?

There is a long process that follows before anything is granted.

Not my area of expertise (by any means), but I think "prior use" trumps this.

I guess that I should have worded my post differently. I had checked and there were only 4 references to SAAC on the Trademark list, 2 dealing with pharmaceuticals and one with radio software so it looks like Shelby is the first to apply for a Trademark for "SAAC" dealing with automobiles and car promotional items (unless I am missing something). The date of the application is November 16, 2007. By the way, it seems like blow up dolls are the only thing not on their list of promotional items.

Wayne - you shouldn't have said that about the blow-ups - there he goes
filing another application!

I am surprised that SAAC did not already have a trademark as they sold the "SAAC" Mustang from the "SAAC Car Company" back in the early 90's. (the car they initially offered as a "Shelby" but apparently CS decided not to allow them to use the name).

I'm pretty sure at the time SAAC said that Dodge was not happy with using the Shelby name on a Mustang, since Shelby was building Dodges back then.
