Can we license something like blue jeans or even a collar? That would be rather impractical for the fashion industry, seeing that this is where creativity is urged. The fashion industry is largely unshackled of the same copyright laws, licenses and guidelines that grip the film and music industry. However, trademarks are the only aspect that is protected in the fashion industry. As a result, this lack of intellectual protection (IP) for fashion has directly led to its huge success. Blakely expands on this point by indicating four advantages of how the lack of copyright protection has helped the fashion flourish. First, this concept has enabled the “Democratization of fashion”. This states that we have a greater variety of fashion aspects to choose from. The second advantage is that fashion trends are now being established faster in the world. Since knock-offs are being produced faster, designers are trying to stay ahead of the game by producing more complex products. In fact, Stuart Weitzman, a shoe designer,

You have to be able to leave home on a moment’s notice to travel and repair trucks on the road. Being a diesel mechanic is very stressful and you never know what you will be working on day to day.
Clothing styles have always had a close connection to developments in clothing creation. The two are inextricably linked by public demand, fabric availability, and the wealth of people to afford them. Even back to the Industrial Revolution and Renaissance, when people began to have more clothing choices, one can see the relationship between what the people need or want and what the manufacturers create.
The incentive to develop such engines came from the idea to replace steam in the locomotive industry. Alfred P. Sloan, president of GM during the 1920s-1930s said that Charles F. Kettering can be credited with the foresight and drive behind the practical diesel power. Kettering supervised experiments at GM as early as 1921 to develop a smaller, more efficient diesel. The small, practical GM diesel engine might have never been developed is Kettering hadn’t been a yachtsman. Kettering purchased a diesel engine for his yacht and was so impressed, he convinced Sloan to buy the Cleveland, Ohio company named Winton that made the engine. After this, GM began to develop a diesel powered locomotive engine during the 1920s and 1930s. (Detroit Diesel Corporation)

The diesel market has seen a steady increase since the late 90's. Now these trucks are well worn and their owners elected to increase the power. Not all of truck owners knew about the risk with some of the high performance add ons. Trucks sprouting some of these easy and popular modifications such as exhaust, turbo, air-intake, injectors and tuning boxes eventually caused a failure of the OEM engine components. It only makes sense that by ramping up an OEM (rated for 350 hp) to 600-800 hp - that something had to give.
