If M&A will not sell the wheels due to a restraint of trade, they must remove them from their catalogue at least. They are also perhaps open to potentially serious charges regarding restraint of trade and misleading advertizing. Further, the ultimate designs, trade dress, copyrights and nomenclatures may not be Kress'.
They are just begging someone to begin fabricating wheels offshore. This is similar to the baloney that Halibrand went through in part, rather than just continue to cast nice wheels and sell them to all comers. Are they too cheap to pay for their own molds and patterns? What business are they in, for pete's sake? Don't they like making wheels? That was the impression i got visiting Halibrand not all that many years ago.
Why would M&A want to engender ill-will by restraining the purchase of their advertized wheels?
Are we simply mis-informed?
