I just hope I'll get a refund on my shirt, do you think they'll mind if it's got lipstick marks on it?

It depends on which entity has legal rights to the name

Do you guys know Raider, the chocolate bar?
They changed it to Twix, which I am sure you know.
Worked too. They had their reasons. And the product stayed the same. So, why not?

Re: I'll have to change my name now North Kiteboarding is no more..
On a more serious note I wonder what's going on behind the scenes with all the intellectual property, just think of all the developments their teams have patented over the years, not so much NKB but NSW certainly has lots of work, I bet the legal eagles are moving into overdrive. This has been going on for three months or more so I understand, we may joke about it and professionally enjoy their discomfort, but it's not actually good news for the business as a whole. They are market leaders in many countries and lots of people rely on them for a living, I doubt any other company is big or well stocked enough to step into the void, although plenty will be trying, but really it's not good news and really bad timing even if for me it is particularly delicious Karma since they once prevented me from selling my North (& Mistral)business for exactly the same reason shortly after they forced me to give up Naish some years ago.

For the sake of all that is decent in the world I kinda hope the user name Staceyk47 isn't just another in your quiver of user names.
That would truly make you kiteboarding's saddest little troll.

Why can't they just do what Prince did? Just call themselves "The kite company formally know as North" little long but it should keep the lawyers away.
