This question may have been answered before but I'm going to ask anyway.I'm looking at getting some t-shirts made and I don't know if there would be any infringements if the Cannondale name ,Logo © or model names are used.I would like to get enough made to offer a few to who ever wants one.Not sure about cost or quanity yet,I wanted to see if it was ok to use logos etc.
Thanks. Gary

Odds are it is now owned by a Chinese company.If they sue you I will pitch in for a lawyer and they would get laughed right out of court by ANY USA jury.So really a non issue.

Yeah, China suing over copyright infringment would be hilarious.

Cannondale still owns the lettering font, and the distinct Cannondale "C". But I doubt they would fuss about a high quality job being done, and if it is distinguished as relating to the former MotorSports Division products,....... and NOT confused with the bicycles.

I have bought the cable locks, water bottles, and the nifty fold-out wrench tools for use with the ATV's and Dirtbikes. Maybe if they come after me in the future?,..... I can plead and remind them I am a "customer". tongue.gif

Its not like you would be selling and making huge bucks over it or making national news. They won't care.
