Any of you folks looking at the PATS issue might want to read this case.....

Seems Ford has made this mistake before.....(2001 Rangers) They call PATS by it's old name "SecuriLock" but it is the same system.

I am going to see if I can find out more about the case, but if anyone can get on WESTLAW it would save me a lot of Google searches.

 

I should have access to WestLaw and others thru U of M, I'll pop onto the library site and see if I can get any info.

 

I look at the stuff I could get into at U of M and did not find any more info then what you have (in fact it looked exactly like what you have). I looked this stuff up on the on-line access to WestLaw and Law Net. I could get the actual transcript of the case at the law library, but I'm not going to be on campus until Sept.

 

SecuriLock is mentioned by name as a feature on the 2006 Esacpe and Mariner hybrids, at least in the on-line documentation.

They are still using the trademark apparently.
