Recently I was made aware of BLATA s.r.o. contacting a dealer and demanding they stop selling "look alike" bikes. I do not have a copy of the C&D (Cease & Decist) letter yet but I will post any and all of them if someone sends them in.

The bikes they are going after are replica's made by chinese manufacturers. I am not sure at this time if Blata thinks these are counterfeits. They sure aren't counterfeit, and are not sold by reputable dealers as a counterfeit.

At this time I'd like to invite any dealer who has received a C&D to send it to me at support [at] worldwidepocketbikes [dot] com. If you wish, I will blank out your name and address and post it here.

If any Blata reps or dealers happen to see this, please let me know what is going on. I will gladly call you to discuss the situation how these dealers are supposedly infringing upon your copyright/trademark.

So far I have only found one trademark for Blata which is a wordmark application.

I would like to ask all users at this time to vote with their wallets and not support Blata or it's dealers until we find out what the situation is.
