Hell's Trademark Attorneys

Sept. 21, 2000 — -- You know the world has changed when the foremost member of the Hell’s Angels barnstorms across the country with a cell phone on his Harley.

In the 1960s, if a nonmember presumed to ride his motorcycle with the Angels’ notorious winged skull insignia, he could look forward a good beating and a lifetime of eating corn on the cob with no teeth.These days, the Angels’ logo is trademarked, and if you cross them, their hotshot intellectual property lawyer will dash off a vicious cease-and-desist letter to exact a different sort of pain.
