Yes, a lawyer's input would be interesting. Here is what I found from the lawyer who represented Shelby in the FFR case (his words, not mine):

"Under the final injunction entered by U.S. District Judge Rya Zobel, Factory Five is barred from any direct, indirect, or derivative use of the Shelby and Ford trademarks. Factory Five is required also to make specific disclaimers and to inform customers at the time of sale that Factory Five cannot use or authorize use of the trademarks on its products. In addition, the court declared the validity of the Plaintiffs' trademarks against Factory Five's claims of abandonment. Factory Five entered into a separate agreement, which is under seal, to resolve other claims made by Shelby."

If it is determined that Shelby owns a valid trademark on the Daytona, that wouldn't bode well for FFR.
