Framework bicycle from Canada are doing a similar thing right now and even make there own carbon tubing.
Incredible work.
Lots of cnc work too, for prototyping.
The testing and cad work appears to be to aeronautical standard.
The stem they made recently posted on Instagram is a work of form and function.

Still very dubious if you can copywright the exclusive use of the name for clothing purposes especially with multiple places of the same name geographical referenced in the brand. The fact they preceeded them in manufacturing makes it an uphill task especially as target market is similar.

Hopefully the judge has had a good night out in hootananny. -
Reminds me of the time specialized took a small cafe in Canada called roubaix cafe to court.
Thankfully in that case common sense prevailed.
Considering the US company has nothing geographical to do with Brixton its seems like nonsense, but I'm sure they've got deep enough pockets to protect what they see as there intellectual property, despite being thousands of miles away from the place. -
