I've found some information that may be of interest to those following
the Stumptown controversy.
I visited the website of the law firm of record for several of
Specialized's IP legal proceedings. I assume this would be the firm of
choice for any legal action Specialized might pursue in the Stumptown
situation. To say that these people are very heavy hitters would be
stating it quite mildly. This wouldn't be David vs Goliath - it'd be
David vs Godzilla.

They also have a very informative brochure that explains the basics of
Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights which might clarify the reasoning
behind what is happening:
