Re: Sold American!
Harley is the schoolbook case for trademark protection and making money from a name. The dealerships became boutiques for products they produced and licensing the name seemed to create more independent products than when the name was freely pirated.
They had 'hog' trademarked when that is a name the public coined. Lawyers went around making bars change their name when bars provided no competition to the company, only free promotion.
