The hits just keep on coming over at the National Motorcycle Museum in Anamosa, Iowa. In January 2023, the museum announced that it would officially be closing its doors for the final time later this year, in September. Financial struggles were cited as a reason, combined with low visitation to the museum—two things that unfortunately go hand in hand.
On Monday, April 17, 2023, the beleaguered museum received an extra (metaphorical) punch; this time, in the form of a lawsuit. A trademark case was filed in the Iowa Northern District Court, with the title “K & K Promotions, Inc v. The National Motorcycle Museum.” Why the lawsuit, and what does any of this mean?
