RE: FERRARI S.p.A. / MOZILLA CORPORATION (our ref. 82274) | |||
Dear Sirs, | |||
following our previous corrispondence, in the name and on behalf of FERRARI S.p.A. (FERRARI) of Maranello, the world-renowned manufacturer of luxury sports cars, which has granted us all the necessary powers for the worldwide protection of its intellectual property portfolio, we wish to represent you as follows. | |||
Since last March, 2010 we have cautioned your Company against the granting of access to any application enabling the download of pictures and images reproducing FERRARI cars, trademarks, logos, logotypes, designs, models and trade names. | |||
Notwithstanding the obligations that your Company has assumed towards our Client after our letter dated May 28lh 2010, we became recently aware that on your web site (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/; https://addons.mozilla.org/it/thunderbird) such applications are still available. | |||
In particular these are "Personas" and "Add Ons", for the customization of the browser FIREFOX, of the e-mail client THUNDERBIRD and of other MOZILLA products, by means of the download of browse themes dedicated to FERRARI. | |||
These graphic themes consist of numerous pictures and images reproducing FERRARI cars, trademarks, logos, logotypes, designs, models and trade names, although FERRARI S.p.A. never granted its consent. | |||
For this purpose, please find hereunder a non-exhaustive list of URL links regarding the above resources: | |||
