St. Patrick’s Day, the 12 hours of Sebring, the Australian Grand Prix, and March Madness all in one weekend. And that weekend happened to have absolutely gorgeous weather. I was like a kid in candy store, although there was so much going on that it was tough to get it all in. Luckily I have a both a TV and a well-stocked beer fridge in my garage so I could be outside enjoying the weather while tinkering with the racecar, watching racing, AND sacrificing some beers in honor of St. Pat. The beautiful weather in March made for a great start to the spring and hopefully April will be the same. April brings us our first driving events of to drive with an in-car instructor on the year. On April 22nd we will be the rolling layout of the 2.34 mile, 14 holding our first autocross of the season turn circuit. There is also classroom at Lakeland Community College. The instruction and a lapping day for event will include an Autocross school instructors and experienced students that covers all of the basics and is a on Friday, April 27th. I would encourage perfect introduction for the novice, as anyone who has never been to Mid-Ohio well as a good refresher for the veterans to come on down sometime during the out there. For those of you who may not event weekend to check it out. be familiar with autocross, an autocross is a low to medium speed I am writing this column the weekend events that is run in a large parking before the New Members Party and lot.

I am elated to see so many pylons, testing their skill against the people coming out to check out the clock. Time penalties are charged for event, and would love to see this type of disturbing cones. Autocrosses are an participation continue. PCA’s tagline is excellent way to see what your Porsche “It’s not just the cars, it’s the people” and can do (and what you are capable of that really captures the essence of the as a driver!) in a safe and controlled club. The more people become involved environment. A typically run lasts about and get engaged with the club the more a minute and you typically get quite a fun it is for everyone. We strive to have few runs in during an event. They are something for everyone, so come on out guaranteed to make you smile as well and give one of our events a try.

Through the years I had memorable experiences driving other people’s Porsches from 356’s through several variants of 911’s but ownership always eluded me.

Porsche AG and PCNA have a reputation for coming down hard with the legal hammer on those play fast and loose in print with Porsche brand names and trademarks. Here are the formal do’s & dont’s. Ed.--LC

Effective Date: October 6, 2011

PORSCHE CARS NORTH AMERICA’S FAIR USE RULES

Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft (“Porsche”) is the owner of the trademarks used in connection with Porsche’s famous automobiles, parts and accessories, and various other products and services, such as, PORSCHE®, the Porsche Crest Design®, CARRERA®, 911®, TARGA®, CAYENNE®, PORSCHE SPEEDSTER®, BOXSTER®, CAYMAN®, PANAMERA®, FOUR, UNCOMPROMISED.®, PORSCHE. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE.®, ®, 4S®, RS®, 9R6®, SYPDER®, and TRANSSYBERIA®. In addition, Porsche has protectable trade dress rights in the distinctive shapes of its automobiles, such as the 911® and BOXSTER® automobiles, as well as trademark rights in Porsche’s model numbers, such as 997, 996, 993, 987, 986, 964, 912, 914, 924, 928, 930, 944, 959, 968 and 356. A complete list of Porsche’s marks is attached. Porsche Cars North America, Inc. is the licensee of Porsche’s marks and is charged with protection of Porsche’s trademark rights in the United States.

The U.S. Trademark Act grants to the owner of a trademark the exclusive right to use its mark in commerce in connection with its goods or services (including any additional goods or services that are likely to cause confusion with the mark). However, the law recognizes that there will be instances when it is necessary for a third party to use another’s trademark in commerce in order to adequately convey information to consumers. Therefore, the Trademark Act carves out an exception for uses that are considered “fair use”. Under the doctrine of fair use, it is acceptable to use another’s trademark in commerce if the use does not attempt to capitalize on consumer confusion or appropriate the goodwill of one product for another, and the use meets the following three requirements: (1) the product or service in question is not readily identifiable without using the trademark owner’s mark, (2) only that portion of the trademark owner’s mark is used as is reasonably necessary to identify the product or service, and (3) the user does nothing in conjunction with the trademark owner’s mark that would suggest a connection, affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement by the trademark owner.

Therefore, under the doctrine of fair use, third parties may use the PORSCHE® mark when necessary to factually describe their own goods or services, provided that, (1) the PORSCHE® mark is contained in the context of a fair and factual statement such as, “We repair Porsche® vehicles.”; and (2) the PORSCHE® mark is not highlighted in any manner through the use of larger style, distinctive typographical style or script, color, shading, placement or otherwise. (Rule of thumb is that the name of the user’s business must be at least four times as large as the PORSCHE® mark). However, it is NOT fair use to use any of Porsche’s marks as part of your own trademark, service mark, trade name or domain name, to use the Porsche Crest Design®, to use any of Porsche’s marks in their distinctive stylized script, or to use photographs of Porsche’s distinctive automobiles merely to get consumer’s attention. However, it is fair use for a reseller of automobiles to display photographs of PORSCHE® automobiles available for sale. Further, it is fair use for a manufacturer or distributor of automotive parts or accessories to display photographs

of portions of Porsche’s automobiles when used to show how the manufacturer’s or distributor’s parts fit on Porsche’s automobiles.

PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT ANY OTHER USE OF PORSCHE’S MARKS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE PORSCHE CREST DESIGN, PORSCHE MODEL NUMBERS, AND THE DISTINCTIVE SHAPES OF PORSCHE’S AUTOMOBILES (WHETHER THROUGH USE OFPHOTOGRAPHS, DEPICTIONS OR SILHOUETTES), OR ANY COLORABLE IMITATION OR COUNTERFEITS THEREOF IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE, OFFERING FOR SALE, DISTRIBUTION OR ADVERTISING OF GOODS OR SERVICES, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ABUSINESS NAME OR DOMAIN NAME IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Even though it has barely seemed like a real Ohio winter (so far anyway!), it is time to start planning your spring and summer Driver’s Education events. A great way to kick off the spring season will be to attend the NORPCA spring Mid-Ohio event.

What is a Driver’s Education event? It is two full days, Saturday April 28 and Sunday April 29 of learning the capabilities of you and your car on a world-class road course facility in Lexington, OH, just 90 miles south of Cleveland. Drivers will be grouped according to experience to drive with an in-car instructor on the rolling layout of the 2.34 mile,14 turn circuit. There is also classroom instruction and a lapping day for instructors and experienced students on Friday April 27th. Come on out, it is a lot of fun so don’t let your car be a garage queen!

Registration is at: www.clubregistration.net Please contact Lori Bryant lori.bryant@att. net 440-247-1487 and Deneene Lance [email protected] 330-528-0841 if you have any questions about the event.

Dates for Nelson Ledges Driver’s Education in June (15-17) and Mid-Ohio Driver’s Education in September (28-30) are in this issue of Voices from the Trunk’s insert and on the club website at www.norpca.org See you at the track!

Usually at this time of the year I am writing about how easy (or not) it was to register for the Porsche Parade. Sometimes on the opening day of online registration the PCA server gets overloaded and the process slows to a crawl. That day was supposed to be March 13, and this year it never happened. A few days prior PCA sent notification that the server crashed during pre-registration trial runs. To make sure that lingering glitches did not affect the effort on the original date, the official opening date has been pushed Porsche car show that will fill the streets to March 27. And since that is way of downtown Granville on July 28. All past the deadline date for this issue of you need to do is register, show up, park Voices, I can’t relate the fun and games where directed, Speed Shine off the I experienced in the attempt to sign up bugs, and enjoy the day. for the Salt Lake City Parade.
