Re: [VintageLambo] Re: Fwd: Factory Registry

Dietmar, Years ago before the internet became what it is today I had planned to start a Lamborghini magazine and had been in contact with the factory quite often. Their big push to me was that they wanted Lamborghini in the title. Well, the magazine didn"t go due to lack of funds (story of my life) and I started the registry on my own computer with what I had, always intending (and still so) to go back and start the darn thing when I did have more time and money. So in a round about sort of way I kinda do have their permission to use the name though I was instructed not to use their logo. So I came up with what you see on the web site. I would gladly take a Murci if that was all they were offering, but it would have to be the spyder. Otherwise I would really rather have a Jalpa or a 350GT. Call me crazy! I"m not sure pissing off the factory with a lawyer would create any good will to further this project. But then again, neither have they!

He must be qualified in international brands and internet branding He should tell you Your rights. Then You know what You have for sure. This SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST STEP. !!! Don’t expect them friendly. My feeling is, they cant do the same as You just with a different extension. At least they should give You a MURCI. BTW they are AUTOMOBILI LAMBORGHINI – that is their brand. dietmar frensemeyer 1972 jarama member of the FRENCH LOC -----Original Message----- From: lamboguy [mailto:lambojambo@aol.com] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 7:27 PM To: VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com Subject: [VintageLambo] Re: Fwd: Factory Registry --- In VintageLambo@yahoogroups.com, "raymondstofer " wrote: > Fred, > > of course glen"s site is registred otherwise you won"t be able to > access it. > Like me, I registred www.lamborghiniregistry.ch Thanks Raymond, now I see where my confusion was.The fact is that Glen owns http://www.lamborghiniregistry.com He has the ".com" URL, which is like owning gold.When Jim posted that the factory is starting a Lamborghini Registry -- my first thought was "well, they can"t do that because Glen owns the name." But Glen only owns the .com name.I guess URLs like "www.LamborghiniRegistry.TV" are available, for what they are worth. Glen, maybe you should contact the factory to see if you can license your website?Just a thought... Best, Fred
