TODAY’S TRADEMARK – WILDERNESS TRAIL BIKES

Wilderness Trail Bikes (usually shortened to WTB) is a privately owned company based in Marin County, California, USA. Founded in 1982 as a company that specialized in mountain bike parts, today WTB sources and sells its product worldwide supplying bike manufacturers and bike shops with components including tires, saddles, rims and grips. Marin County is the birthplace of the mountain bike, which had its origins in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Steve Potts, who was already building bike frames in Mill Valley in 1980, teamed up with Mark Slate to help meet demand.^[2] Charlie Cunningham, in Fairfax, had been building mountain bikes since 1979 with heat-treated aluminium frames which had unique Type II forks, roller-cam brakes, custom-made hubs and other components that were among the first of their kind designed specifically for mountain bikes.

The trademark of this company was registered in USPTO bearing registration number 1559732 on October 10, 1989.
