- March 23, 2014, 15:46:19 PMThanks, Jmbo...................Yea, it would be impossible to go after the individual for sure, but you're right about those selling quantities for profit. That could get to be a real furball. Right now they're being nice with just a Cease&Desist Letter from the Lawyers which will stop 90%, I'm sure. Can't blame them at all. They paid for the rights to the name and the look........it's theirs by law.

No way they could ever go after every individual.Just read an article where Polaris/IMI went after a small mfgr called Crazy Horse Motorcycles whose tank emblem was a War bonnet for copyright infringement. Sent them a nice cease and desist letter..........before a summons to civil court! Guess it's already started. I seriously doubt they would go after individuals.........they're more worried about being hijacked on a larger scale.

- March 22, 2014, 14:29:01 PMQuote from: chief on March 22, 2014, 12:19:23 PMAs you may know we used to sell the Indian head fender lights. But when Kings Mtn bought Indian, the manufacturer had to pay a royalty for those, so they stopped making them. I suspect with Polaris' deep pockets they may start trying to curb other things as well... like the original warbonnet. BUT, you will likely still be able to get these things from authorized resellers.
You mentioned the magic words - royalties and authorized resellers. I spend over 40 years in the licensed product business. Both mean one thing CHA-CHING! Things will cost more and have more limited availability. Been there done that!

Buy your Indian based stickers and emblems while you can.
