These registered trade marks give Ford Motor Company, its associated groups and its authorized licensees the sole and exclusive right to use the trade marks in relation to the goods and/or services for which they are registered. Ford's trade marks often also have sufficient fame to give Ford rights to prevent their use in fields beyond the goods and services for which the trade marks are registered.  

It is an offence under applicable civil and criminal law for an unauthorised reproduction or application of a registered trade mark. For example, adding the Ford in script in Logo to an item make the item counterfeit and also infringes on Ford Motor Company's rights in relation to trade mark.

Unauthorized use of our trade marks subjects the offender to legal action by Ford and/or the criminal authorities.
