not about cakes --about the name of a cycling business--

but it's interesting how this is turning out--i started to post about this yesterday

http://blogs.calgaryherald.com/2013/12/07/war-veteran-forced-to-change-bike-shops-name-after-threat-from-u-s-bike-giant-specialized/

but changed my mind--now it looks like a resolution is in sight--but we'll see

http://www.bicycleretailer.com/north-america/2013/12/09/asi-says-calgary-bike-shop-can-use-roubaix-name#.UqdJJvRDvQT

and it's gone international too...so...could be tied up in courts forever i guess if peeps/lawyers get all wadded up about it--

the outpouring has helped make this guys shop though--for now anyhow...

whoa--this is really twisted--

so specialized the copyright holder who is suing the small shop is said to be leasing the name in question from someone else, a company called asi--holy moley

not just that asi holds another copyright to the same name (and got it previous to specialized's getting theirs) but that asi leases the name to specialized--dayum

i'd reckon specialized oughta get some new lawyers if they can't remember that they indeed leased the name from asi only 11 years ago--

can of crawly worms
