Hmmm. It all sounds as if someone settled rather than fight a lawsuit. You know, with free speech and non-infringing original designs. How could anyone have a "wordmark" that prevents us from using the word MINIs?
Larry wrote and asked what it was that we did that offended BMW and CafePress' sensibilities? Was it the drawing of the MINI or the word MINIs in NorCal MINIs in the logo? The response Larry received was "MINI."
Please be patient while we do a MINI redesign of our NorCal MINIs logo. We wish to MINImize any difficulty you may have with getting NorCal MINIs merchandise. We can't fight dictators with electrons and no money. Hopefully our MINIature squabble will not offend the economic powers that be. At a MINImum we will endeavor to put it to rest. We will stop here and stop MINIng this for all that it is worth.
