H-D, S&S Reach Resolution
Harley-Davidson Motor Company Group, Inc. and S&S Cycle, Inc. say they have resolved litigation between the two companies which had been pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
In March 2005, Harley-Davidson filed a complaint against S&S alleging various acts of patent and trademark infringement. The companies recently reached an amicable resolution to the litigation that involved re-design by S&S of crankcases and oiling systems and a re-write of S&S product descriptions referencing Harley-Davidson’s trademarks.
