With all this talk about Volkswagen and trade marks, I decided to search for a
few regular VW names.  Everything looked normal until I entered "Eurovan" and
discovered that although VW currently owns this name, it was first registered
by GM in 1987.

So when VW decided to use this name and discovered that is was already owned
by GM, did they just call up GM and ask to buy the name?  Or did VW have to
trade some other name for it.  So will we see a new GM van called the
"Transporter"?, or will we see the Chevy Dasher in the near future.
Personally, I'd hate to see them give up "Thing"
