But, at any rate, the M4 and its technical package becomes government property in June, I believe. Of course, whether or not that also applies to the nomenclature "M4" (assuming I'm incorrect and Colt's trademark is still valid) is an entirely different story.

The instruction manual that came with it called it an XM15 M4A3, so maybe catalogs call them "M4 type carbines" but they call it what it is.

The ruling was that M4 was a generic term that could not be copyrighted since "M4" and "M4A1" are designations used by the US military so therefore those names fall in the public domain. |
