I heard a discussion on the radio just yesterday (CNET) that was on this
subject. The law is such that if you don't defend your trademark, you lose
it. The example used was "Yoga Inside", a group that teaches meditation to
prison inmates and is being sued by Intel. That said, I think we need to
start a campaign directed to Campagnolo, asking them to provide the needed
parts, hoods and brake shoes. Even if the moulds no longer exist, they're
obviously easy enough to make.
