This post is meant to inform anyone who has to date
purchased a “Great Scott” ski from ON3P, or those who are considering a future purchase. In late October, ON3P received a cease and
desist order from SCOTT USA Ltd., and its affiliates SCOTT Sports SA and SCOTT
USA Inc., demanding ON3P immediately cease commercialization and sales of all “Great
Scott” branded skis for reasons of
trademark infringement.
We are current exploring the legality of the use of “Scott”
in the name of our ski “Great Scott” and should reach a decision in the near
future.
Once we have reached a decision, I will post an update on
the matter.

a responsible report cant really be made until its more resolved... ns isnt really in a position to do so, its not the same as with the wme suit.

Yes! wtf is up with that. I don't see the difference between WME and Scott right now. Fuck scott.
Also, what's up with Tom signing with scott making the front page and the man, the legend Julien Regnier getting kicked out of the company he co founded not getting a mention?

Couldn't you just ignore it and change the name to Great Sccott, or something like that? Its annoying but there not sueing you, just asking you to change the name.
I'm not defending scott in any way, just saying that there are bigger things to focus on.

Not really thread related. But I work in a bike/ski shop who deals with scott. And they are total PIA. We've had a bunch of problem with them.
Now, thread related, to the person who said rename them "Cease and Desist" I totaly agree with you.
Oh, BTW, first post.

Or Just "Andre the Giant", Sounds like a sick ski to me.
But then you would probably just get another cease and desist order.
Making it even more reasonable to name them the "Cease and Desist"!

"Andrus the giant" was suggested because Scott's last name is Andrus. Hence, "Andrus the giant".

My hope is that skiing companies are defined by the quality of their product and their concern for skiing as a lifestyle, not by the strength of their legal team.

this just goes to show that wallisch is no longer core..not that he personally agrees with scott's actions, but i feel that his past sponsors never would have done something like this. basically scott is more concerned with making money and goin after the little guys for bullshit reasons. this is a lot like the WME and Level 1 situation in my opinion.
good luck on3p

why is being "core" such a big deal? put yourself in his shoes, sign with a company paying you more money or stay with a company so you can be "core'. I think 95% of people would choose the first.

Cause Julien cant Dub cork 12.

but guys, If you check it, it says the Scott USA company or something, this means the SCOTT Board of Directors would have made the decision. And as Scott Skis would mean like 1% of the company, The people who work on the Scott skis (marketing, designed, testing) would have no say, So really, You cant hate on them, They probably know its best not to get involved but it'd be the Higher Ups that would be Anal about it, and to them its all about the money. They dont care about some skiing industry crap.

I'm naming my next daughter Great Scott. And she's going to rock Smith optics and helmets because Smith doesn't sue people for progressing the sport. The losers at scott are obviously caught in a Purple Haze, wait Purple Hayes. ;) Sign me up!
