Colt Defense LLC v. Bushmaster Firearms, No. 06-1696. Two gun companies sue each other over whether the term “M4" is a trademark. District Court holds that it is generic. First agrees, pointing to the fact that it seems to have been continuously used in the media and by other companies. It seems that enough evidence was presented to overcome the presumption against it being generic due to its registration.
