At least they had the good sense to use the B engine. That has counterbalance shafts like the Triumph twins and run amazingly smooth for a V2.
I wonder if Redwing Boots knows they are using that name?



I'm not sure how the patent, or trademark/licensing world works, but it is hard to believe that RED WING Boots and Shoes would not at least be somewhat concerned about the use of their good name. I would think less of them as a company if they for whatever reason jumped on this bandwagon as a partner....what would be the upside of that?





Im pretty sure theres no probelm when you have the same name for a totally separate fields of business. Unless that name or phrase is totally original. Like when metallica sued because a nail polish company named their newest color "metallica" the word metallica is owned by the band because its not really a word.

The 2 words Red and wing are just everyday words, so if a motorcycle company wants to use the name "red wing custom motorcycles"...its a different title than "red wing footwear"

If it was another boot company trying to use the name it wouldnt be allowed. This is to stop people from stealing business from other people, simply by using the same name.

The loop hole is when a company changes a letter or the phrasing of a product name to beat the system. Like walmart soda is called "dr thunder" instead of "dr pepper"..they can get away with this easily because you cant patent a taste.
