Having seen the offending designs, I can say that I don't think the HA will win the case. The items designed by alexander mcqueen do have a skull with angel wings BUT skulls and angel wings are a combo that have been put together from before the hells angels were around. Yes they have trademarked their specific design, but the Mcqueen items have skulls that are wearing helmets with ornate designs or no helmets at all and have large flowing angel wings wrapped around them. Not the aviator cap and the almost hood ornament like wings of the death head.
To say that if anybody ever puts a skull and some wings together in a design will be sued by the HA for fear of the said person getting hurt is silly and bloody ridiculous.
To put it in perspective, if a M/C used a coiled snake as a logo for 50 years, could they trademark the image of a coiled snake, an image which gets used daily in many different images, items etc and then attempt to sue those who use it. I think not.
.....who gives a flying fuck...
I am surprise the bike manufacturers / race teams haven't taken Deus to court yet.....
Triumph charge a small fortune for anything with their logo on it......yet a lot of people just put a picture of the bike and it seems everyone is ok?
