On behalf of FINE WHITE LINE LIMITED (FWL), LAMBRETTA SCOOTERS LIMITED (LSL), both are Companies with registered office in United Kingdom, at 2 Pedigree Farm Barns, Althorp, Northants, NN7 4HE (herein after, FWL and LSL) and on behalf of LAMBRETTA LICENSING (IRE) LTD, with registered office in 20 Molesworth Street Dublin 2 – Republic of Ireland (before Scooters Asia Limited, herein after LAMBRETTA LICENSING (IRE) LIMITED (here after LLL)).

The three companies above manage on behalf of LAMBRETTA CONSORTIUM (herein after LC) the exploitation of the exclusive rights concerning the trademark LAMBRETTA. For a trademark overview please visit www.lambretta.com.

As you may be aware, LSL is the sub-licensee of the trademark LAMBRETTA for the European market. LLL is the sub-licensees of the trademark LAMBRETTA for the Asian market.

LSL granted a further sub-license to MOTOM ELECTRONICS GROUP SPA (here after Motom), in order to exploit the exclusive rights on the Trademark LAMBRETTA on Italy with a conditional possibility to extend the territory. Unfortunately, because of contract breaches by MOTOM, the sub-license agreement was terminated, last December 2010.

LLL granted a further sub-license to CLAG INTERNATIONAL LIMITED (here after CLAG) in order to exploit the exclusive rights on the Trademark LAMBRETTA in 11 Asian countries. This agreement has also been terminated because CLAG failed to pay the Minimum Royalty due and committed other contractual breaches.

This means that any Scooter product sold in numerous countries in the world, without the authorization of LC and in particular the scooters commercialized and distributed by MOTOM or CLAG (specifically the LN 125 and LS 125) or by any other company affiliated, participated, commercially linked or connected to MOTOM or CLAG (this will also include but not be limited to ADLY, GAMAX, DBM LAMBRETTA INTERNATIONAL and MOTOLIFE) cannot carry the LAMBRETTA trademark, lacking the consent of the legitimate owners of the sign at issue. Any genuine and valid licensing agreement should be signed directly with LAMBRETTA DISTRIBUTION LIMITED (LD) part of LC. Moreover the mentioned companies have no authority to use the trademark LAMBRETTA in their company names, websites (including but not limited to: www.lambrettaoriginale.com, www.lambretta-italia.it and www.lambrettamotorcycles.com) or on any other products they produce or distribute.

Lambretta Consortium takes a very strict stance in this matter and have been forced into this action to protect their exclusive rights.

Lambretta Consortium has instructed its lawyers to,

WARN

Importers and distributors of the following relevant facts:

All importers/distributors engaged in the LN 125 /LS 125 must immediately cease and desist from distributing, marketing, offering for sale, advertising, ordering any product bearing the trademark LAMBRETTA.

All importers/distributors engaged in the LN 125 /LS 125 must immediately cease and desist from using in the course of business the trademark LAMBRETTA or any confusingly similar sign.

All importers/distributors engaged in the LN 125 /LS 125 must inform to us all the quantities of LAMBRETTA products, imported, commercialised, offered for sale, distributed or ordered to date.

All importers/distributors engaged in the LN 125 /LS 125 must not take delivery of any incoming shipment of products bearing the trademark LAMBRETTA, unless explicitly authorized by us in writing.

All importers/distributors engaged in the LN 125 /LS 125 must sign and return a the enclosed copy of a lletter of acceptance that they have understood and accepted the obligations hereby contained.

PRESS RELEASE

Wednesday 3 August 2011

Lambretta: this is not an imitation!

We are witnesses of a piratical action of a well known "predator" of famous brands!

With reference to the statement sent on 2nd August 2011 by Lambretta SA (company in liquidation) to the press agencies worldwide,

the companies Motom Electronics Group S.p.a. (MEG) and Clag International Ltd (CLAG) jointly specify as follows:

1) the trademark Lambretta was sold in 1972 by the Innocenti family, founder of the brand, to a company owned by the Government of India called "Scooters India Ltd" (SIL).

2) in 2006 SIL granted a license for the use of the trademark Lambretta to an English company called Fine White Line Ltd (FWL).

3) In 2010 FWL, through two affiliated companies, Lambretta Scooters Ltd and Scooter Asia (TBS) Ltd, granted sub licenses for the use of the trademark

Lambretta to MEG and CLAG for Class 12 products (land, sea and air engine power vehicles).

MEG and CLAG therefore use the trademark Lambretta by virtue of license agreements which allow them to sell in most countries of the

world scooters with the trademark Lambretta.

Despite the clear legitimacy of the use of the mark Lambretta by MEG and CLAG, the companies of the so-called "Lambretta Consortium", which is not a recognized juridical entity, for several years have been trying to revoke the rights of the original Lambretta trademark, owned by SIL, alleging that the trademark had not been put to genuine use, with the purpose of prevailing with subsequent registrations of the trademark Lambretta made illegally by the Consortium starting from 2006.

The Court in Milan (Italy) with three decisions (decision n. 8912/2010 of the 7.7.2010; injunction of 26.11.2008; injunction of 30.5.2011) has already established that the trade mark Lambretta owned by the Company SIL is valid and cannot be revoked and has decided that there are no reasons to consider terminated

the sub license contract for the use of the trademark Lambretta.

Defeated in the judicial courts, Mr. Walter Scheffrahn, control shareholder of Brandconcern BV (Dutch company) and, we suppose, main partner of the Lambretta Consortium, against any decision taken by the Judges of Milan, is seeking to stop the industrial and commercial activities of MEG and CLAG, by taking actions in various countries around the world aimed at terrorizing suppliers as well as distributors of the legitimate licensees with the purpose of dissuading them to continue

the legitimate industrial and commercial collaboration with MEG and CLAG.

By doing so Mr. Scheffrahn, who has never produced any scooter and who has illegitimately registered, in bad faith, the trademark Lambretta without commercially using it,

has not hesitated to commit criminal actions (such as the defamation of the managing director of MEG).

For this reason he has been reported to the Public prosecutor's office of Monza (Italy).

At present Mr. Scheffrahn, through the intense network of companies that are controlled and managed by him, is issuing press releases to the whole world with news contrary to the truth, is vilifying the companies MEG and CLAG, threatening their clients and suppliers and even sending his own emissaries to visit possible prospective clients with the purpose of intimidating them and dissuading them from purchasing the scooters with the trademark Lambretta produced by MEG and CLAG.

Not only, but Mr. Scheffrahn, in a fraudulent way, has also filed an application to the OAMI, the European trademark and patent office, in order to register under the name of his holding company, Lambretta Srl, the intellectual property of the industrial models of a scooter designed and previously registered by CLAG,

trying to illegitimately appropriate for himself the rights of industrial property owned by third parties.

For all these reasons Mr Scheffrahn will once again be reported to the Public prosecutor's offices, with the hope that the Judges will be able to

issue effective measures to stop the action of what we believe is a "predator" of famous brands.

Certainly MEG and CLAG, confident of their rightful actions, as confirmed by courts’ decisions, will not let the unlawful and unprejudiced actions of this person intimidate them and they will continue, with the entire industrial and commercial network set up in these years, the re-launch in the world of the mythical brand Lambretta,

of which they confirm to be the only legitimate licensees.

PS both companies MOTOM Electronics Group and CLAG International Ltd are available to release every information to the press

En als ik dit verhaal zo lees, heb ik eerder het gevoel dat deze versie klopt.

wat dus allemaal nog meer bewijst hoe we hier kunnen spreken van een serieus geval plat commercieel gedoe en dat deze SYM brommer niks te maken heeft met de originele scooter. daar waar LX-en, GTS-en,... gewoon echt de nieuwe scooters zijn van Piaggio is dit een gewoon een farce.

  • 2 weken later...

In ieder geval hoop ik uit de grond van mijn hart dat ze die rommel,welk de naam Lambretta door het slijk trekt werkelijk van de markt zou moeten verdwijnen.Het is een werkelijke schande deze naam zooooooooo te misbruiken.Ik kan gewoonweg niet begrijpen dat er sommige scooteristen hier ook maar het minste in zien ,is juist zo een ding uit de Auto 5 met ne Lambo sticker op!En met gelul afkomen dat het goe rijd, zoals sommige veraders dat alles doen voor hun winkeltje maar te doen draaien!

heb je er al mee gereden Davevespa PK ?

ken jij iets van Sym motoren ?

Inderdaad... Behalve het feit dat de licentie door-door-doorverkocht is wijst er niets op dat dit rommel is. Lelijk misschien, zoals de plastieke Vespa's, maar daarom nog niet minder in kwaliteit... (?) :)

Het moet eens gedaan zijn om te oordelen alvorens je de scooter in het echt hebt gezien EN getest !

@DAVEVESPA PK: maak een afspraak met United Scooters voor een testrit en kom dan hier terug je mening zeggen

en anders stoppen met zeveren

Ondanks dat sommige eigenaars van een oude Lambretta die nieuwe versie niet graag zien komen. Zal dit de waarde van een oude nog een stuk de hoogte injagen...

dat is niet te hopen

Joehoe, hier gaan we weer plastiek, curry... ... eindelijk een nieuw Item.

Allee, de Sym scooters komen van Taiwan, en ook uit Korea. Zijn scooters aan zeer redelijke prijzen

bollen goe, zelf eens meegereden, een kameraad was vroeger een verdeler hiervan. Buiten wa prustkes

waren zijn klanten er tevreden over. Als ik me nie vergis hebben deze over het algemeen Kymco motoren,

in de 125cc en 150cc. Waar ik naar benieuwd ben is wat Lambretta zelf op de markt gaat brengen.
