Seems silly of AN to me. If Chris was happy to do a group price, surely he would have been equally happy to have agreed to sell them exclusively through AN, or to have given AN a royalty payment. I may be missing something, but to me AN have changed what could have been a great marketing exercise into a sour tasting act of pettiness. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
 
AN must defend their trademark or copywrite otherwise they loose all legal rights to it. So yes, their hands are tied to demand cessation. There is nothing stopping them from subsequently working out an agreement to produce them, but got to protect themselves first.
 
So why go after a watchmaker but leave the Staffordshire bull terrier alone, the one who says on his website.

NORTON is not our registered trade mark but we have a licence from the trademark owner to manufacture and sell Genuine Norton motorcycles & parts
Anyone claiming to be "The Only Genuine Source" are legally wrong due to our own 2001 licence pre-dating subsequent company licences
We manufacture Genuine Norton Parts to original factory specification.
 
So, how different does a green globe have to be before it is deemed different to a trademarked green globe? A different shade of green? No stripes? Etc...

I agree. I did suggest to Chris that it may be worth asking AN if a deal could be struck.
 
Apparently I got my order in just in time...

Thank you for your order.

I am letting people know that i have had a cease & desist notice from Norton for copyright infringement, so i have had to delete the listing.

i will honour your order and it should ship out in a couple of days Regards

Oh oh I can see that van with the black out windows parked near your house.
Men in trench coats and sunglasses knocking on your door....
 
I swear I saw one in all the above even with " Top gun" shades with green spots on the lens.....Oh no, that was the price ticket!
