Nice job Trevor, great to hear what actually happened from the poor victim of JLR's heavy handed and greedy lawyers. I do hope the dreadful way JLR handled this case is reflected in their future sales !!

Good explanation and well done Karl. Some years ago when I was running a small manufacturing business we had to make frequent use of of 'artists copyright' law in the UK courts. The states that you get copyright protection automatically, on all artistic work, including 3 dimensional designs. At the time we were producing various fridge magnets and wall plaques and we had to go to the courts in London to establish that our designs were being more or less EXACTLY copied. (Which they were because it became obvious that moulds had been taken directly from our products.) As the judge said when it comes to 3 dimensional items it is the 'form' that has copyright not the 'idea'. We ended up establishing copyright on all sorts of designs including our versions of the Routemaster London Bus, London Taxis and sets of 3 flying ducks! Substantial damages were awarded. You automatically get copyright protection when you create:

JLR has disgraced themselves with this legal action. JLR directly benefits from the huge investments that individual hobbyists and parts suppliers make, which pay homage to the brand and its heritage. This is something that many competing brands will never have. As a vintage Jaguar owner, I am disgusted with JLR.

Very interesting but I would have liked more content if available on the reasoning behind JLR initial interest. Seems almost like a sting operation to draw Mr Magnusson in to divulge more detail. Did his original contact stop emailing to be replaced with the legal team. All very odd & what happens now to the existing replica Jag market in the UK?

It's a troubling situation, for sure. These are the kind of issues that keep Kit Car manufacturers up late at night.

Maybe the digital version is the issue. They can't control that. It is much easier to replicate. He should probably give them the digital copy.

If the court case relied purely on the shape of the C type being the problem why cant Carl merely modify with extra panels the shape, then it would not be a C type shape at all and would be exempt from this ridiculous destruction ruling. Chris B.

Pretty devious from JLR, if there were to be legal objections, this surely should have been made clear at the time of the very first contact. This is typical of the antediluvian nature of the British Car Industry which has led to all of our major manufacturers disappearing or being in foreign hands, disgusting! Even our small volume native manufacturers with any history, Morgan springs to mind, have used major components from overseas makers for years.

Tata/JLR do make replicas, or "continuation" cars as they prefer to call them. As with Aston Martin, there's now good money in raiding the back catalogue, hence JLR's protectionist action to stamp on any competition.

Crying shame that crap happens to good people & they loose all their life's hard work & money for the onslaught of greedy corporations, plus attorneys that want to benefit from it. Mr. Magnusson's C type is correct & gorgeous. Upon this action by Jaguar Land Rover, I for one will never purchase a Land Rover or new Jaguar of any sort even though I do like them very much. Mr. Magnusson up staged them badly & they couldn't stand it. That's what I got from this video.
