Wrangler Sahara has been Wrangler Renegade since 2000 in New Zealand
because of an issue with Nissan. This was the explanation given to me by
the Jeep dealer when I asked him why I couldn't find any late model
Wrangler Sahara.

Ah, well, there's an angle for you to pursue; The prior, unopposed use of
the name.

I wouldn't do that were I you. I'm thinking that your first call should
be to a trademark attorney. Have him evaluate your case and decide where
to go from there. The best that you can hope for by contacting DC
directly is for them to send you more "Go Back Now! Abandon All Hope!"
letters, or a demand for 25% of the list price of the items you sell.

Naw, they would have found you eventually anyway, and demanded back
royalties, so it is better that this happened now. BTW, it isn't about
you or right and wrong or profit or even image, it is about a very narrow
business point of view concerned only about not allowing their
"intellectual property" to be diluted in any way or to fall into the
public domain. You probably would have gotten a similar notice had you
been a big fan of things made with a hook-and-loop fastening system and
had called your product "Velcroids".
