Dear Ford enthusiast,
As many of you are already aware Ford Motor Company, through the law-firm Howard,Phillips and Andersen, has recently initiated an effort to crack down on trademark infringement of Ford and their brand names. While we support the efforts to uphold Ford's trademarks and take action against those who use them negatively, many legitimate businesses, clubs, magazines and enthusiast websites have been sent letters asking them to not only discontinue use of the name, but to also pay exorbitant damages and turn-over their URLs and other business property. For many companies, some which have been in business since the Ford Mustang was introduced in the
60's, this could essentially mean going out of business.FordMuscle Magazine is championing a cause to make Ford aware that these broadly-sweeping and harsh legal efforts against companies which support, and have helped build the loyaly around Ford and Ford vehicles, are ultimately damaging theirPR and Marketing efforts.
As loyal Ford fans and customers of these legitimate businesses we ask that you help our efforts to ask Ford Motor Company for a more fair and equitable solution to meet their needs and keep the companies in business.
Please visit the following page on FordMuscle.com and submit your comments. All well-written and non-malicious comments will be sent to several key contacts within Ford Motor Company.
