Default Someone at the Dunlop/Goodyear Head Office is on crack..

Dunlop Tire has mailed 1,000 info packages to families with the name Dunlop across Canada with the request to legally change their family name to "Dunlop-Tire" from Dunlop. If 50 people sign up, each will receive $500. But 1 family will win $25,000 if chosen from the lottery of 50. Corporate branding has sunken to a new level it seems.

hmmm... maybe i should change my name to Dunlop, enter the contest and change it to Dunlop tire, collect the cash and.......i wonder....

Default I thought you were going to say they were being sued for tradename infringement

Thats how it would be handled in the US.

Remember the USOC in Atlanta?
