Youd think they would atleast ask...
Devinci had the "Hendrix" for a year or two and now calls it the Marshall. Wonder why? Anyone have any info on that?
Because the ghost of jimi hendrix rose up, cranked it up, and blasted the bitches with a customized wailing flailing rendition of "oh canada".
Once the bleeding stopped from the ears they had to acknowledge the unworthiness of their own tribute, and toned it down so to speak to just the means of delivery, since containing the essence of the man himself in mere carbon fiber is impossible.
next best thing
OFFS. Family must be looking to upgrade the van...
I'm wondering if they are going to next sue the writer of a comic I read as a kid, they had a fat dog named Farley.
...Which I always thought would be a great name for a trail-dog.

haha, Karma is a bitch!
Or Lard Bucket.
I'm just going to stay here for the chips & beer...
It's a good thing. Jon gets Kranky if he doesn't have stuff to make lists of that he wants to kill.
It's a bit better reasoned here. Farley's brand of comedy was centered around him being fat. He was even afraid getting thinner might hurt his comedy. So calling a fatbike product Farley is a really clear association.
Also finally some revenge. Wish it was Spec though.
i read somewhere that they were actually in negotiations to use the trademark name prior to the lawsuit being filed. my guess is trek was either trying to renege on some aspects of the deal or were dragging their feet, and the Make Him Smile org was using a lawsuit to crack the whip on them, so to speak.
Aaaand we have an agreement!

"The Mayor" was spot on though...
I think some of the fatbike "associated with all things fat" has gotten out of hand at a few companies. I keep looking for the latest new model to be called "Bucket of Lard".
Leonardo's family insisted they be the only family name misappropriated for bikes
And misspelled.
Although there is a bike manufacturer in Denver named Davinci, spelled like Leonardo.
not in french.
Nope, it's not how you avoid lawsuits. If you can prove association by similar pronounciation then the case is still there. I remember Yoko Ono sued or threatened to sue a soda company "John Lemon"
