FILES TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT SUIT AGAINST YAMOTO MOTOR CORPORATION AND PATRIOT MOTORCYCLES CORPORATION YAMAHA SEEKS PERMANENT INJUNCTION AGAINST YAMOTO FOR KNOCKING OFF YAMAHA’S RAPTOR ATVS AND TT-R125 OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLES Los Angeles
filed suit yesterday in Los Angeles Federal Court against Yamoto Motor Corporation and Patriot Motorcycles Corporation [Pink Sheets: PMCY] for trademark infringement
copyright infringement and unfair competition
manufacturer and seller of the Raptor™ line of ATVs and TT-R125 off-road motorcycles and seeks a permanent injunction against the Defendants
alleging that they are flooding the marketplace with inferior
Yamaha seeks both treble and punitive damages in its Complaint and will ask the Court to compel Defendants to deliver to Yamaha for destruction all products
labels and advertising materials that infringe Yamaha’s trademarks
Tomasulo with the Los Angeles office of Jones Day
is the second largest manufacturer of motorcycles and ATVs in the world and enjoys an international reputation for selling unique
outboard engines and water vehicles all under the Yamaha® brand name
Yamaha owns and holds trademark rights in connection with the shape
style and overall appearance of Yamaha’s Raptor™ line of ATVs and its TT-R125 line of off-road motorcycles
Many of Yamaha’s ATVs are manufactured at its plant in Newnan
Yamaha alleges in its Complaint that Yamoto entered the United States market in 2003 by advertising
promoting and offering for sale the Yamoto line of ATVs and off-road motorcycles
which are of lower quality but bear strikingly similar resemblances to Yamaha’s Raptor™ line of ATVs and its TT-R125 line of off-road motorcycles
that the Yamaha® Raptor™ 50 ATV and the Yamoto 70 ATV are so similar that the poorer quality parts on the Yamoto copy are interchangeable with the parts on the Yamaha®
Yamaha further alleges that Yamoto not only attempted to confuse the public through the adoption of names
colors and appearances that are confusingly similar to Yamaha’s
but also by copying Yamaha’s website
using a web address almost identical to Yamaha’s web address and failing to disclose the Chinese origin of the Yamoto products in violation of United States law
Yamaha claims that the distribution of these products is an obvious and deliberate attempt to trade off of Yamaha’s reputation and goodwill in the industry
Yamaha has invested serious money into researching
developing and promoting its brand of motorcycles and ATVs and can rightfully claim pride in its reputation for quality and innovation,” stated Russell D
General Counsel for Yamaha Motor Corporation
“Consumers have come to associate the Yamaha brand with superior
the Defendants are trying to undermine and sabotage our hard-earned reputation by deliberately copying our products
from body design and shape to customized logos
in an attempt to confuse the public and sell them inferior products.” “Yamaha
holds the appropriate trademark registrations for all of its products,” explained Jura
retailers and customers know that they can always expect quality from us
Yamoto’s imitation of our products has been fraudulent and deceptive from day one
and that’s why we will assert our legal rights against anyone knocking off what is rightfully ours.”

One of the cheapest sets on test, and you can see where the money has been saved – instead of a case, you get just a flimsy insert.
Parts of the finish could be better, but all fastener types are just about covered, and the mainly soft-compound three-sided handles work well and have size markings.
There’s no crosshead stubby, but this is all many DIY mechanics will need.

we tested each set's 10mm socket to 1.5 times the required limit - around 85lb/ft
The extension and ratchet were taken to just over 122lb/ft
We looked for a range of standard height and deep tools; our sets included Imperial AF
Yamoto's Best Buy has the perfect blend of strength
extras and a good AF and metric range in standard and deep sockets
Much the same can be said of the Recommended Sealey - but the higher price and smaller size count relegates it to second
The Franklin set is tough and well designed
yet its rather steep cost drops it into third place

Bongo star Aslay is finally dropping his long-anticipated EP titled Kipenda Roho
This will be his first EP and his fans will definitely be thrilled to listen to it
The EP will go live on 14/11/2019 exclusively on the Boomplay music app
Bongo sensation Dogo Aslay has made a name for himself among the greats in the East African music world
The young lad has been making moves since 2011 when he burst into the limelight courtesy of his hit song Naenda Kusema
He immediately became a household name not just in Tanzania but also in Kenya where the song received massive airplay
He would later on in 2013 join hands with Mbosso now signed at Wasafi
Beka Flavour and Enock Bella and together they formed the Yamoto Band
a musical band that ruled over East Africa for 4 years before they each decided to go their separate ways in 2017
Yamoto Band gave us hits like Cheza Kwa Madoido
many people were interested to see how the different members who decided to pursue solo careers would fair on
Many particularly had an interest in Dogo Aslay who was said to the engine of Yamoto Band
Aslay started releasing hit after hit with his first single after leaving Yamoto Band
He later on collaborated with Tanzanian songstress Khadija Kopa for a marriage themed song titled Usiitie Doa
The song went on to amass over 7 Million views on YouTube alone and was on heavy rotation across media houses in both Kenya and Tanzania
In his first year after leaving Yamoto Band
Aslay released over 7 songs with each garnering over 4.5 Million Views on Youtube
That is the year that defined him as a solo artist and made people know just how good he is
His second year as a solo artist was no different as he gave his fans more hits to dance and sing to
Aslay has had the privilege of doing great collaborations
Aslay is a father of one having sired a child with Tanzanian beauty Tessy Chocolate
The two were blessed with a lovely daughter
Mozza Aslay who he named after his late mum
Aslay and Tessy are no longer together as a couple but the Bongo star still supports and cares for his kid
He has lately kept his love life low key and only posts his daughter across his social media platforms

Mbosso has downplayed allegations of leaving Wasafi in the near future
Mbosso affirmed his stay at Wasafi till the end of time
should the opportunity to leave Wasafi arise
he disclosed his wish not to go the “dirty way” like Harmonize and Rich Mavoko who have had longstanding squabbles with Diamond since their departures
“Nikitakiwa niondoke Wasafi basi nafikiria wakina Diamond wataniambia ‘sasa hivi sasa unatakiwa uondoke hapa yaani ushakuwa
ushakuwa babu… nataka nikae kwenye nafasi ambayo sitaki iwe na chuki na mtu yeyote nataka niwe msanii wa Wasafi niendelee kufanya kazi Wasafi nikae Wasafi niienjoy mziki wangu na maisha yangu na mziki wangu nikifikia muda wa kufa nife nikapumzike” he explained partly

The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) has issued a traffic advisory following the appearance of a sinkhole on the Nakuru-Kampi ya Moto (B17) Road

approximately 1.5 km from the KFA Roundabout

Nakuru County experienced severe flooding and geological disturbances following heavy rains
leading to the formation of sinkholes and the tragic loss of a life.
a man was swept away by floodwaters while riding his motorcycle near the Eveready roundabout along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway
Sinkholes have appeared in Nakuru's Eveready area after yesterday's heavy rains, with scenes revealing the extent of the damage. #K24Updates pic.twitter.com/hPiuR2NbGv
The man’s body was recovered downstream around midnight and taken to the Nakuru County Mortuary.
The heavy downpour led to the formation of sinkholes in the Eveready area of Nakuru West Subcounty, approximately 10 meters from the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway. One such sinkhole measured about 40 meters in length and 15 meters in depth.
“We have also observed a sinkhole that has formed; the soil has eroded… We are continuing to assess the damage,” Deputy Commissioner of Nakuru West, Omari Ali, stated.
An electric pole also sank into one of the sinkholes, posing a hazard to residents.
Geologists have long warned about Nakuru’s susceptibility to geohazards due to its location within the Great Rift Valley.
Clement Lenashuru, a natural research scientist, explained that the region’s instability is due to volcanic activity that occurred during the formation of the Rift Valley, leaving a layer of pumice or volcanic ash covering numerous fault lines.
“Beneath the surface, the region is composed of loose ash sand that can be easily washed away with water percolation,” he noted.
