Beginning in late September '02, the American Tomahawk Company began to receive inquiries and complaints from dealers and retail customers about the Tomahawks in Shomertec's latest catalog.
In an attempt to clarify the evident confusion, we offer the following statement.
Shomertec is not selling ATC's Tomahawks. The Tomahawks offered in their 2003 catalog, while nearly identical in appearance and in one case, nearly identical in name or trademark, are not made by ATC.
If you have issued a purchase or were planning a purchase on the basis that ATC made the product and it was available at a lower price at Shomertec, please know in advance that it is not an ATC product.
ATC takes great pride in the originality of its designs, products, quality construction, and reputation in the industry.
ATC will not sit idle while its designs and marks are diluted by copies and reproductions, and will take a strong position to defend is name, products, reputation, and intellectual property against any company or companies that intentionally or unintentionally degrade them.
I have communicated with the principal at Shomertec regarding this issue and anticipate his willingness to help resolve this confusion in the near to immediate future.
