SSpecialized trademark nazis at it AGAIN!!!

[jmaccelari]

The guys at SSpecialized must be morons. After p*ssing off everyone recently with the 'Roubaix' debacle, they're at it again, but with 'Allez':

The words don't even SOUND the bloody same!

 

It's a pity SSpecialized are such a bunch of litigious twats. I like Omega-Pharma-Quickstep (especially Tom Boonen), but watching the Ronde van Vlaanderen on Sunday, I was rooting for anyone but them to win. The thought of a SSpecialized winning was too much for me..

Really ironic when you consider that Mike Sinyard started his company by basing his first mass-production bike on someone else's design.

Like Apple. Steve Jobs copied everyone else on the market and the sued the **** of of anyone making a success in 'his' business. Again, I won't buy from Apple scumbags...

If NeilPryde re-name it to Alizee, and sell it with pics of the delicious lady, I'll buy six.

[GoLefty!!]

Alizee, yeah baby put me on that list.

 

 

Specialised will never see a dime of my money. Pity NeilPryde doesn't want to take them on but having been involved in other sports where they market products its just not their corporate style.

saw this a a few days ago, still cant believe it, probably cos their loyal customers cant pronounce 'allez' properly

 

(someone better tell me how to pronounce Alizé properly please )

[Fork-it]

This is interesting. Just to be sure is it ALLEZ vs ALIZE ?

[Rydogg]

It's a pity that their bikes are so dam brilliant!!!

[jmaccelari]

Allez - 'ah-ley' meaning 'go'

Alize - 'A-lee-zeh' meaning 'trade wind'

 

Go figure...

C'mon, it is standard business practice - everyone does it.

 

Especially in the tech world - the guys LOVE to litigate in respect of patents, in order to crush competition and gain a competitive advantage.

Specialized should rather focus this energy and money on the fight against fakes. They should pool some resources with Pinarello, Time and the other brands that are suffering the counterfeit rot and fight it together.
