15 minutes After contacting V.Musvydaitė-Vilčiauskas, she assured that she was happy that the number of events promoting health and movement in Lithuania was increasing, but was outraged that they were organized by copying others and regretted that Saturday’s event had fooled some people. .
“Details of the event were taken, photos were taken without consent.” From there, our partners, the attributes are obscured. Many thought it was our event. In fact, everyone who works with our so-called events, asked what was happening here, why are we not here.
We are about to walk, because of the movement, because it is very necessary, but not because of plagiarism, to take ideas. That is what we are talking about. The job worked for six years. Our event was and is being organized, “he said.
V.Musvydaitė-Vilčiauskė described the situation in more detail on Facebook on Monday afternoon.
“During the weekend, I received a blow to the face, as well as the entire team and the participants of the organization of the“ GOING Competition ”. UAB Pitlane, led by Benediktas Vanagas, violated our intellectual property rights. We have already made an official claim and would like to inform everyone publicly.
Photo from personal album / Vladada Musvydaitė drew attention to the similarity of the photos of the events “BEFORE the competition” and “Walking”
The free walking event “DEPARTURE COMPETITION” has been organized for 6 years, the concept of the event has been created by me and developed together with the UAB team “WALK15”. This walking event is unique in that it encourages not only families and groups to go together, but also to bring pets, which are registered separately. They also receive medals.

The uniqueness of the medals for the participants of our events is that they are always made of wood and with a purple cord. It’s a shame, but at the event organized by UAB Pitlane, which took place this Saturday, not only were medals and other components of the event repeated, but photos from our event were also used.
The essential features of our concept were used which, as can be seen from the comments received, misled both the partners and the participants of the event.
Not only was the distinctive color of our events, purple, used in the communication of the event, but even some of our photos, which were only visually corrected by removing the attributes of our event sponsors.
In global practice, any use of the event concept is only possible with an event franchise, but UAB Pitlane did not present itself to us with such a request and thus seriously violated our intellectual property rights.
I have carried out up to 18 events of this type that have integrated my whole family. I would like to inform everyone who has been misled on September 25th. The “Going” event is just an attempt to copy the initiatives organized by UAB WALK15 ”, wrote V. Musvydaitė-Vilčiauskė.
15 minutes He also contacted Benediktas Vanagas, director of UAB Pitlane, who was at the meeting at the time, so he was unable to speak. “It makes me smile,” he commented briefly.
He soon expressed his position on Facebook.
Let him go with everyone! On attempts to monopolize color and a healthy lifestyle.
As you know, a wonderful walk was organized on Saturday, which brought together thousands of live walk enthusiasts with families, friends, colleagues and pets from all over Lithuania.
Today, the UAB Pitlane team and I (as well as without the last name of Vanags) received public accusations from Vladas Musvydaitė. From the published address, we understand that, in Vlad’s opinion, Pitlane infringed Walk15’s intellectual property rights, namely:
– “He borrowed” the “unique” idea of walking, but walking with family, companions or pets also turns out to be “unique”.
– wooden medals made with purple cord
– used blue without permission
– used two visually corrected photos, including those used on the Walk15.
The accusations are serious, the answer must be:
– Pitlane has been organizing massive sporting events for 15 years.
– That’s what the team does, my role in them has been an advisor for a long time.
– The IKI Velomarathon, of which we are proud, was, in general, a great “icebreaker” for massive changes in sporting events. It was followed by a series of good initiatives, which I congratulate. Like many good practical solutions to organize this type of event. Many organizers of sporting events have learned and take advantage of the good practices of the Velomarathon.
– The registration of families, companies, friends, children or related people is nothing new in the world of events. We always have.
– As there were already more than 6,000 participants, there was no need to register pets, especially to give them medals. Even so, we do not believe that it is necessary to torture animals by hanging them on what nature has not given us. If the pet owners, having crossed the track together, want to take a picture of their pet with a medal, here is their decision.
– Now let’s talk about colors. No matter how much I want to resent the factory teams or the world’s biggest brands that have started using black, matte-colored, silver bull or white partner logos, I understand that the colors do not belong to me.
There is a term called color psychology. The great minds of the world study how one color or another affects people, what it means, what it is associated with.
Blue-Purple-Pink The combination conveys the necessary conceptual dispositions and is widely used in walking and mobility events around the world. In the comments, I’ll include some “found by hand” examples.
– Wooden medals are growing, are used in many events and are a welcome green initiative. It is also actively offered by most paraphernalia manufacturers.
– Now the two photos. They have been provided to us by event partners we trust and we have no reason to doubt copyright. No further adjustments have been made to the photo.
Instead of the end.
I am happy and proud that there are many running, cycling, walking and other events promoting healthy life in Lithuania. Its participants have the right to choose and the organizers have the right to show their ingenuity and talent.
I understand that I would like to be the only organizer of the planet’s walking events, but today we can only say “thank you” for contributing to the creation of a healthier society, “commented B. Vanagas about the situation on the social network account .
