Restoration Parts Licensing Program - OlDirty - 17-11-2016 Objectives The principal objectives of Ford Motor Company's licensing program are to: 1) increase the legal protection and reduce wrongful usage of Ford trademarks; and 2) improve the quality of products carrying the Ford brands, thereby enhancing the image of these brands. Background In planning its Restoration Parts Licensing Program, Ford obtained Voice of the Customer input from the Automotive Restoration Marketing Organization (ARMO) and from restoration parts manufacturers. The Restoration Parts Licensing Program was announced on Sept. 29, 1993 and endorsed by the Board of Directors of ARMO at the November 1993 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Convention. The licensing program provides benefits to consumers, to licensees and to Ford. Consumers benefit from the availability of high quality, authentic parts for their vintage cars and trucks, licensees benefit from their use of the "Official Licensed Product" logo and the policing of unlicensed competition, and Ford benefits from the trademark protection and enhanced brand images. At present, there are over 9,000 restoration parts displaying the Ford Motor Company "Official Licensed Product" logo. Quality Assurance Restoration Parts Licensees must successfully complete a quality assurance survey, and their products must meet Ford quality standards as well as all federal and state safety regulations. Also, to assist in the monitoring of on-going production quality, the "master" restoration part samples are returned to the licensee after approval and used as quality benchmarks. Information Packet This package includes names, addresses, and phone/fax numbers of all Ford Restoration Parts Licensees as of January 2016, a listing of licensees by vehicle line, and a summary of the licensed products of each licensee.
