JAKARTA (JP): Chinese motorcycle importer PT General Laju
Machinery Indonesia (GLMI) and the sole agent of Japan's
motorcycle maker Honda, PT Federal Motor (FM), have decided to
seek an out-of-court settlement to their dispute.

The move became obvious on Wednesday as PT GLMI told the
Central Jakarta District Court it had dropped its lawsuit against
the City Police over the seizure of 52 Millennium brand
motorcycles from its storehouses on Feb. 19.

The dispute between the two motorcycle distributors centers on
the use of the name "Millennium" for Chinese motorcycles imported
by PT GLMI, a brand name which PT FM claims is their registered
brand.

A lawyer representing PT GLMI, Mansyur Dahlan, said his client
had been distributing the motorcycles since 1994 and registered
the brand name with the Ministry of Industry and Trade. (04)
