From a quick check on the net, this sounds like cruel and unusual punishment. I must object. 
I'm sure my old Star Wars toys claimed (c) / (r) / tm on "Imperial Guard" as well. (Hmmm... this puts a new twist on the old Imperium vs Empire debate. No longer "who has the best superweapons" or "who has the best storm troopers" but "who has the best lawyers").Selezen wrote:GW have done this for YEARS. It's the very reason I stopped buying their stuff - they think they own the rights to EVERY WORD used in their things. If you use the word WARHAMMER, for example, they will hit you with a law suit. Same with Eldar, Space Marine, Imperial Guard...and so on.
I also remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles claiming (c) / (r) / tm on the names "Leonardo", "Michaelangelo", etc
