It often seems remarkable how once valued brand names get debased. It is always death by 1000 cuts. Each licencee is motivated to maximize the return on their investment, knowing that building brand value will most likely cause the licence to be revoked because of increasing value to the owner of the IP. It creates a negative spiral that I’ve never seen halted. Usually the only concern the IP owner has is that the downward spiral isn’t too fast. They know it’s happening……they just want to drag it out.
Determining exactly when (and with who) the Charles Daly brand became a separate IP, disconnected from SD&G, would be interesting.
