Such a bold effort needs trademark protection. As a matter of fact, an application has been made recently for the names “Sunbeam”, “Sunbeam Alpine” and “Sunbeam Tiger” for automotive as well as clothing uses. The application can be seen at http://tarr.uspto.gov, serial number 78357854. It has been filed by Michael T. Hughes of Duluth GA.

There are 50 or so days left to contest this application. The applicant had to swear an affidavit stating that this trademark was never used before…

Should the application go unchallenged, we will be asked to either cease promoting Sunbeam social activities and selling regalia and parts, or else we will have to pay a license fee to do so. It does not seem right. Is there a trademark lawer within our US membership?

Cheers, Gilles
