Marcos Maniacs

I suspect that copyright was never an issue until now that Rory owns the
company - no disrespect to Rory - He has made an investment and wants to get
his investment plus, back. Until one sees documentation I think it's fair to
assume the suggestion of copyright is a means of protecting his turf (and
profits)

I, too, would be skeptical of the design actually being copyrighted at this
time, although it probably could be done. (Caterham went down this road with
Westfield over design of the Westfield seven and won.)

However you must be prepared for the possibility that if Pilkington is
Rory's supplier, they may have an obligation not to undercut one of their
agents.

All,

Personally, I'd be extremely skeptical of a claim of copyright. I don't see
how the screens could have been sold through the Marcos Owners Club if that
was the case. The screen are an extremely profitable item for Marcos
Heritage and I'd take their claim with a pinch of salt.

For what it's worth.

Rory states in his reply that the screens are copyright. Who holds the
copyright and is it still current. It may be that pilkintons cannot
supply glass to us directly without infringing these copyrights and if
so our only alternative would be to buy through marcos heritage. I do
not know how the club managed to get their own supply of screens if this
is the case. Rory used to advertise a 20% discount to marcos owners club
members but this message seems to have disappeared from his recent
adverts. Does anyone know if he still offers this discount.
