Piaggio - What the ...?!
janguzzi:
Did you know that the Piaggio Group is currently forcing forum and website owners and professional stores to remove the word Guzzi from their names?
This is currently happening in Germany. Latest victim HMB Guzzi.
This is done by lawyers hired by the Piaggio Group.

Next will be the Eagle, and don't have any of this on your business card or you are liable for a lawsuit.

Hopefully this doesn’t grow too much. I PERFECTLY understand the copyright legality…but in many fields, there’s often a threshold that includes gray areas where copyright could be argued, but the company may see it beneficial to continue to allow it.
Example: the case of comic book conventions where scores of artists make commissions and sketches of licensed characters to sell to the public. It’s often expressed that Marvel and DC continue to allow this because it helps their characters stay relevant. In this instance, since the dealer network/dedication is lacking as it is, it might be in the best interest for Piaggio to continue to allow the small number of fans/owners of the brand to help keep the name relevant.

How about the folks that are making & selling decals for obsolete models? T shirts!
