Shelby's latest lawsuit, who's next?
Looks like if you can't win the first time, you try, try again :eek:

Strangely...
.....this is all..... confusingly similar.....to his previous horsesh*t.
Which he took on the chin. And supposedly came to grips with. Confusingly similar. Great choice of words. |

I guess FFR is the first of ol' Shellbag's new assault on the hardtop kit car industry. It seems we're in for another ride on the long and winding road. Get the popcorn out, it's gonna be a long winter.

Gents...let's keep it to a discussion about the suit, and watch the personal remarks or we'll shut it down.
:cool: |
If I build something and someone else comes along and takes it for gain without compensating me, they deserve to be sued and sued again. Anyone who has commercially gained from the Shelby's property or the Cobra and anything related to it should have had to pay a royalty or at least been granted consent. I have personally suffered from others who have stolen my intellectual property and patents and it sucks the big one.

Ol-Shel may have a case with this one IMO. Unlike the Cobra, Brock designed the coupe body while an employee of Shelby American.
This should be interesting. Larry |
I don't see this lawsuit against FFR going anywhere as the trade dress infringement on the Cobra as well as the Daytona Coupe was settled in Federal Court in 2002, what has me worried is that Shelby has included FFCobra.com in this one along with a shop that builds FFR's for people. If Shelby gets his foot in the door on this one on the website who's the next big one to fall?

"Nice" Christmas present for FFR though.
BTW, if those who made profit from building replicas should pay to CS, will those who lost money get compensation from CS? Let me get some popcorn! Dom |
This is interesting. I'm no lawyer, but the Daytona Coupe may be a legitimate argument. The part about ffcobra.com seems a bit hokey. They state ffcobra.com uses the wording Shelby Cobra to advertise Factory Five, but I've never seen the word Shelby on there except maybe in the forums.

This place should give the Old Grouch a little fairer treatment than the KooLaid drinkers. Thanks for keepin'it civil, Jammer. that said, let the courts deside this one also.
|
Who never loses ? The lawyers.
|
Lucky for all of us that other car manufacturers aren't as petty as ole Shel.
Think about all the other re-bodied and fabricated replicas (33 Fords, Anglias, Willy's, etc.) that would be sued out of existence. Shel, go quietly from this world! |
Does CS smell blood? Poor economy, shock issue, release of 33 Hot Rod, working on exact copy of **** Smith's 198 Cobra: FFR could be over extended in 2009. What a better time to hit FFR again, and add in the rest. I do not like this at all.

From what I heard, the Shelby booth at SEMA was fairly close to the FFR booth.
FFR had lots of crowds and interest in their cars, while the Shelby booth was fairly empty. Coincidence? I don't think so! I think their lawyers are going to try and BK FFR (or force a settlement) or they will kill them with defense costs. The guy with the deepest pockets wins. Guess who that will be? |
Maybe he's gettin' ready to make some 'continuation' Daytonas and doesn't want the competition. He can sell 'em for six figures to some guys who'll call 'em real. Does anyone know how many 'hardtop' manufacturers are out there? This may just be the first volley.

I took a quick look at other manufactures web sites concerning the metatags issue and EM, Shelly Valley, Hurricane, Lone Star, Unique & ERA all do the same as FFR and I don't think they pay CS anything so are they next? How deep will this go? Will other local builders be targeted? Will this site be shutdown? After all, they are selling advertising to these rogue companies. Guess they should also delete any threads mentioning the London Cobra Show and the raffle for charity. |
