They are a big market for anything. We need to think of something to market there so we can make some money. That is what I am thinking...

As long as Porsche has the name locked down...in the class ......Use of such mark no matter how broad the category...Its theirs!! and they MUST defend no matter how silly it appears,,,It would actually be foolish to NOT defend your mark ...Standard procedure! (give them an inch they will take a yard) Most large companies/ franchises retain attorneys to look for infringement My belief initially was if they dont have that class marked....No matter how mighty, They have nothing. Got the class of goods covered...end of argument..They (Porsche) win! @993c4s Oh heck yeah i believe you!

Porsche and Crocs have named Cramer Krasselt as their ad agency. That's ironic! Porsche has Caymen name and so does Crocs. Porsche and Crocs have named Cramer Krasselt as their ad agency. That’s ironic!

According to what I read, a European Community Trademark must be used in the class for which it has been registered within 5 years after registration. If it isn’t used within that period, it can be challenged . Porsche says they have a trademark on “Cayman” in class 25. Class 25 included the following list of goods and services Clothing, footwear, headwear; clothing for men, women and children, shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jogging suits, trousers, pants, shorts, tank tops, rainwear, cloth bibs, skirts, blouses; dresses, suspenders, sweaters, jackets, coats, raincoats, snow suits, ties, robes, hats, caps, sun-visors, belts, scarves, sleepwear, pyjamas, lingerie, underwear, boots, shoes, sneakers, sandals, booties, slipper socks, swimwear and masquerade and Halloween costumes; parts and accessories relating to all the aforesaid. So, as long as Porsche has used it in the last five (5) years, it should be open and shut (even if it is silly). :-) @Brad,

Does Porsche design have a shoe name Cayman thats registered? If so..Crocs is in a swamp of trouble :) .....Good one though for Porsche with the watch auction!!

Maybe the Cayman Islands should be next, and anyone who grows cayenne peppers should have to pay a licensing fee.Come on I could see if another car company were using the name but shoes?
