Just a little perspective here. Intellectual property (copyright, logo infringement) is a very necessary legal area,

The chance a company takes in not protecting their logotypes is huge. Remember Formica??? It was a name brand counter top and floor covering. They failed to make efforts to protect their brand name and in one fell swoop lost the use of their brand name...the courts said that the word "Formica" had become a generic word. There was a huge loss of brand recognition in the process.

Kleenex and Jello have recently faced the same issue.

Many businesses just subscribe to services that scan the environment to find possible infringement. Subscribing to the service is a Prima facia defense in protecting your brand name, logo, and other intellectual property.

The situation may not be as nefarious as it seems. Effecting a change usually resolves the situation to the satisfaction of the courts.

In the process of changing your logo type you need a professional organization (law firm) to search to be sure you are not just creating another issue with another firm!

Anyone ever bought a Clay Smith cam?

I never knew anybody that did.

They were mentioned in some car mags in the sixty's for a slant six cam they made.

I Always went Crane or Isky and even MoPar but never Pecker head.

Its the use of the woodpecker in promoting a auto parts company that is the issue.

Disney would chase you if you used a two cartoon characters that resembled mice even if they were a different fat and ugly, if you were in any of the same businesses they pursue.

Being regionally close (the southwest), in the same business (aftermarket auto parts) and having the same bird promoting the product is sufficient to raise the eyebrows of the lawyers.

Change the bird like you propose (have a law firm do a search) and then you should be fine...

I was a partner in an advertising agency called "ComSouth" and a new phone calling card company started up and their name was "Comsouth", but since they were in a totally different business there was no infringement.

Copyright law is designed to protect as well as attack...
