Halfords did it with the Carrera brand too.

On a similar note a local club has been stopped from advertising
a triathlon for fear of legal action because they used the word 'olympic'. It's the effin' distance of the event, why the eff is LOCOG allowed to trademark the word?!

Carrera is a really posh road bike brand elsewhere in the world, n'est-ce pas?

Amazed they haven't taken on Subway, Star Trek and Destiny's Child too.

I'd like to market a bike called "50% off twice what it's worth" and see if Apollo stops me using that too.
