- tdicola 12y agoThe Model T is over 100 years old now, surely Ford can't have a monopoly on a name that long right?
- objclxt 12y agoTrademarks don't expire as long as you keep using them - and you don't have to use them in necessarily very conspicuous ways (that's the reason all iMac boxes have "Think Different" in small lettering on the side[1]). I wouldn't be surprised if Ford still maintained the Model T trademark.
