Type S air freshener

I'm sure Acura's copyright lawyers like to see this kind of stuff. At least it's not a stolen Type S emblem...

Well type-s isn't really copyrighted by honda/acura is it? I mean they arent exactly saying that it is a acura type-s or anything..it is the seller that is saying that..not the product?

I would think it's a given that the Type S logo (not just the words) is copyrighted or trademarked by Acura. Any other company that uses that likeness is infringing. They’d be unlawfully benefiting at Acura's expense. At least that license plate frame above doesn't use the red "S". The first link is pretty blatant.

It looks like "Type S" is a brand name. They have several other products:

Get them while you can, cause I'd bet Acura will send them a cease and desist order as soon they get smell of this.

S Type definitely....though that might be because I was a big fan of the arcade game R-Type back in the day.....

I think Type S might be a new designation like GT was years ago.
Remember the Ford Escort GT - LOL!

Those are some pretty nice looking products.

The license plate frame is ugly though.

I hardly doubt that will happen. I have seen many "TypeR" producuts out there similar to this... cup holders, keychains, seatbelt covers, cell phone holders, air fresheners, etc... If Acura hasn't busted the other guys for the TypeR junx, why would they do it for the TypeS. It's hard to enforce.
