I dont know when the ad was copyrighted but it was run in 7/02 on the back cover of Kit Car.

While the ad does "pepper" the word replica in it at various points it also refers to their cars as "Superformance Cobras" and then clearly states "We don't sell kits. We sell Cobras".

Maybe they feel that if they sprinkle the words "replica" or "replicar" in the ad in various places thats sufficeint to protect them from their blatent referral to the fact they "sell Cobras" when they don't.

In my opinion they have no right to refer or intimate anywhere that they sell Cobras. But, hey thats just my opinion based on the fact they clearly note at the bottom that "Cobra" is a registered trademark.

Seems kind of like an "in your face" action by SPF. Sometimes I understand why CS is so bitter and pissed off.

You can choose to identify whatever part of the ad you feel is the most important to you. I'm just pointing to parts of the clear text.
