The problem with that statement, if the Judge was
paying
attention, is that
the only relevance to the trial is the
actual outline of a car without
any detail except
perhaps the logos. That means we are left with the
Chevrolet Corvair and
other more successful pony
cars,
like the Camaro,
that did indeed copy Ford.

A phone that performed like the original iPhone would be disregarded.
It has to perform.
There is very little retro in computing beyond quirky stuff. Nothing that makes
any money.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Back in the 70's Ford advertised that the Ford Granada looked so much like a
Mercedes some people couldn't tell the difference.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The 1965-1970 Datsun 1600/2000 "Fairlady" Roadster was a pretty clear
knock-off of the MGB roadster.
The car of which the Mazda MX5/Miata is a fairly good clone, at least visually,
is the Lotus Elan roadster (1962-1975). This was surely the same era and concept
as the MGB, but the Elan was more modern, with a DOHC engine (vs. the MGB's
old-school OHV design), hidden headlights, independent suspension and disc
brakes all around, and weighing in at only 1500 pounds - lighter even than the
smaller-than-an-MGB Spitfires and Midgets/Sprites of the same era.
I knew the Elan well as a boy, from the "Mrs. Peel" generation of the
silly British spy-adventure TV series "The Avengers". (Linda Thorson
as "Tara King," the successor to Diana Rigg's "Emma Peel,"
also drove a Lotus, though hers was a Europa.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
