[Excalibur]

Actually not really, if you look at our side of the HK 416. Originally to be marketed as the "HK M4," the name was altered in an out-of-court settlement with Colt following a lawsuit over the latter's M4 trademark: Colt ultimately lost this trademark after Bushmaster Firearms refused to settle in the same way and the term "M4" was legally genericised as a name for carbine-length AR15 pattern rifles. HK has not yet altered the weapon's name in light of this, or indicated any plan to do so.

So for a military designation for any guns, it really can't be patent.

I remember the HK case, and I thought it was weird then. I can understand why they won't change it now, HK416 is now well-established, and that IS something that can be trademarked.

Though it's weird that Daniel Defense this passed year sued Remington for using their slogan...even though it wasn't the complete slogan. Remington has "Lighter, stronger, and even more badass" as opposed to DD's "Lighter, Stronger, Better" and had chevrons pointing down instead of DD's pointing right.

Is that really a slogan or more or a description?

Is Cyborg really worth his own feature film?

I dunno. I'm just glad that DC are actually doing something to compete with Marvel.

And speaking of Marvel, I'm really pissed that they're adapting that piece-of-crap storyline Civil War.

Looks like this project is still moving forward. Then again, if the live action has the nudity of the original...
