>I was researching trademarks today for work and got curious, so I checked
Triumph. Well there were 237 trademarks with the Triumph name in them, of
interest was the fact that on October 19th of 2000 BMW trademarked Triumph,
I was not able to find an earlier trademark on the marque. So why the
sudden interest in Triumph, a marque that has not been used in 20 years? I
know last year they refused to sell the Triumph and Riley name. HMMM, Now
I
am getting Curious.

I wouldn't get my hopes too high if I were you. It cost next to nothing to
register a trademark. A whole lot less than "badge engineering" a car.
And that is a whole lot less than an original platform. BMW is just
hedging their bets, I think.
