How many prod/services still use the Stude name?

[Nitram]

This product was used at our church the other day to dry out carpeting when a water line burst. ("record breaking drying times")
The Studebaker name is printed right on the product label.

What other products and/or services currently use the Studebaker name? (other than Avanti)
Isn't there a financial holding/services company?

I know there is a Studebaker Electric in Ohio. It was founded in 1953 by Carrol Studebaker. www.studebakerelectric.com

Apparently it is just a model name of a "Dri-Eaz" product line.
Never heard of that one.

The distributor you linked to also sells Clarke and Avanti equipment!

I wonder if they stole the name from an old Clarke floor sweeper nameplate from when they were owned by Studebaker Corp.?

I think the only actual operating, legitimate Corp. solely using the name AND a left-over from the Original Corp. is Studebaker Worthington Leasing: http://www.studebaker.com/

WalMart was selling little transistor radios and AM/FM/CD/Cassette mini boom boxes in a '50's styling not that long ago with the Studebaker name on them. Lettering was in a semi-script style. I got one of each.

Does nobody hold the rights to the Studebaker name? Is it available for anyone to use?
So far there is a blower/dryer, a line of motorcycle parts, and transistor radios that have used the name.

Used to be a van conversion co. that used the name. jimmijim

No one owns the rights to use the name Studebaker. The sucessors to the Studebaker Corporation chose not to maintain Studebaker's trademarks. SDC has registered as trademarks the SDC logo, the name Turning Wheels, and several other portrayals of the words.

Given the number of companies and organizations that are using the name, there is no likelihood that the US Patent and Trademark Office would allow the exclusive use of the word "Studebaker". One could, however, register a particular portrayal or representation of the word. As an example, Avanti Motors still presumably owns the rights to the portrayal of the word Avanti with the arrow, dot over the i, etc. -- but the word itself is in use on other products.

Larry Swanson is the SDC trademark administrator.

Kind of hard to limit the word "Avanti" after all its Italian for forward. There are lots of Studebaker model names that ended up at other car makers ...

Transtar (International)
Daytona, Challenger (Dodge)
Hawk, Lark (Buick's Skyhawk and Skylark)

Anyone know of other ones ....

To my knowledge, Mike Kelly's Avanti Motor Corp ownes the name Studebaker when applied to a motor vehicle.

No he doesn't, what he did was clever, as usual. He named one of his models (the SUV) Studebaker. He used it as a model name. The company that sells the radios and record players has legitimate use of the tradename Studebaker when applied to radios and audio products. There is a Studebaker Motor Company that has not produced anything in 5 plus years. Studebaker-Packard is not protected either, but the name Packard and it's logos are actually owned by two different people/companies. If yo want to print anything that uses the Packard script or the Packard crest you do need permission.

The Kelly Avanti logo is trademarked by him as he actually made changes to the word. The changes are subtle, but enough to allow a trademark.

Non of the actual Studebaker logos and names, service marks or trademarks are owned by anyone, or any entity. There is no intellectual property that is owned by anyone or any entity. That includes car designs, photos, drawings, or logos.

I have seen around here a greeting card company that uses funny photos (animals, old people) That is called Avanti. That is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
