Ford asks Rob Ford to stop using trademarked blue oval logo
http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/11/13/ford_asks_rob_ford_to_stop_using_trademarked_blue_oval_logo.html
Ford Motor Co., the second-largest U.S. automaker, said it will protect its Ford script and oval logo from use by supporters of embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.
Rob Ford signed shirts emblazoned with “Ford Nation” incorporating the automaker’s logo at a United Way charity event on Tuesday. The mayor said for the first time today he bought illegal drugs while in office after admitting last week to using crack cocaine and being drunk in public.
“Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo,” Jay Cooney, a company spokesman, said today by telephone. “We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped.”
