Buy the little container of the paint from their website. take it to any
good auto-paint place and they'll be able to match it pretty darn easily.


Just bring your bike. The odds are highly against the
Bianchi touch-up paint matching the celeste on your bike.

I find that very hard to believe. Trademarks are typically phrases or
symbols. I am extremely doubtful that a color alone (without a word
or shape associated with it) could be trademarked. Do you have any
evidence about the pink color being trademarked?

Read the fine print at the bottom.
I learned this at an intellectual property and trademark
seminar. They did say that it is highly unusual for a
color to be trademarked.


I believe when this happens, the trademark is for use in a limited context,
in this case insulation. You could sell a pink bike without running afoul
of Owens Corning. Just the same way that a guy named Dell could run a
bike shop called Dell's Bikes, but he might have problems with a computer
store called Dell's Computers. Another example is the Kodak yellow film box.

From http://www.cdf.org/7_1_index/mark/mark.html

"What is trade dress?

"Along with a brand name or logo, a product may become known by its
distinctive packaging - e.g., Kodak's yellow-and-black film box,
Tiffany's turquoise blue gift boxes. Service entities such as retail
or restaurant chains may be recognized by their distinctive decor or
architecture. These identifying features are commonly described as
"trade dress" because they function like a trademark in
distinguishing their goods and services in the marketplace. Trade
dress can be protected under the federal trademark laws and, in some
cases, registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office."

The ones that are rebuildable?
The ones that actually are made to fit human hands?


Shifters last so long rebuildability is moot. Ten years or more down the line
I'll buy new Ultegras. What hands do Campy hoods fit. Not American man sized
hands then you have to worry about the thumb dshifter.
