Games Workshop is Claiming "Space Marines" is Trademarked

[Arondell]

Normally I tend to think this kind of thing is something Apple or some other large company would try to do. Also you would think the people at Games Workshop would have enough background knowledge and sense to know how ridiculous it is to propose they have a trademark claim on "space marines".

Doesn't surprise me. Someone tried to sue Rowling claiming the word "muggles" was copywritten. Disney tried to trademark Seal Team Six. It is called patent trolling.
