Who owns the Apache trademark and name?
 

Does anyone know who owns the trademark Apache and the name? Why don't see any new Apache's?

Do a search on the board, please.

Mark McManus

If my memory is correct there are two APACHE's they have similar but slightly different logos. Mark Mcmanus & Bobby Saccenti both have the name but they have thier own logo logos that are similar but are a bit different. ;) Jamie

Federal Court resolved the issue of two Apaches. There is only one. The trademark and logo(s) belong to McManus.

However, I have a whole bunch of free time this week. So, I'll keep an eye on this thread for some interesting reading.

Yup, I agree with MegaByte!! McManus is the only man who has the ability and legality to build and sell any boat labled an Apache with the Indian head logo! Thad Allen lost his lawsuit and the "New" Apache is long gone...no molds, no boats, no nothing. Bobby Saccenti is a legend and will always be associated with Apache but holds no legal rights to the name.

Pantera has the molds for the Thad Allen boat. Nothing has ever been popped from them though...

Its a shame really, from what I have gathered they are very nice and it was a good design.

Its a shame we don-t see any new ones on the water, they had everything going for them.

They still are in the business of producing some serious hardware - there's pics here on OSO of a recent (late last year) Apache built named Cold War. You might like what you see.

Hmm, just my opinion but Cold War was/is hideous...

How many boats is McManus actually popping these days? It looks like they are mostly just retro fits and reconditions...
