[Tigers] Interersting note on Shelby deal

[Teepen, Jere]

I am certainly no legal type (quite the opposite...),  but the Exhibit A
document is dated from 1999.  Could it be part of an internal agreement
between Shelby and SAAC concerning the use of terms within the SAAC
organization?  "Sunbeam Tiger" does appear in quite a bit of the SAAC
literature.

I wonder what this means??????  If you go to the following  site
_http://www.saac.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=137&Itemid=33_
(http://www.saac.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=137&Itemid=33)
you will find a copy of Shelby's amended complaint recently  filed.  Go
towards the end around page 18 and look for exhibit  "A".  In the exhibit look
under "License Agreement" and then find the  paragraph titled "Recitals".
This appears to be a list of the many names that Shelby stakes a  claim
to.....names like Cobra, Shelby Cobra, Shelby Cobra 427, etc..  Well,  lo and
behold what name shows up toward the end of the list, but "Sunbeam Tiger"
:-))) Now, can some legal type figure out what that means?  Does it  mean that
while everyone was sleeping that Shelby's company staked claim to the  name?
Or is this something he obtained through  his original deal with  Rootes way
back in the 60's?
