B-24 Liberated!

07Jun08

Last month Lockheed Martin tried to remove models of the B-24 aircraft hosted on TurboSquid on copyright infringement claims. This month they have withdrawn that claim.

The central mark at issue was the term “B-24,” which Lockheed managed to register as a trademark for use in connection with scale models of airplanes. We sent an open letter to Lockheed’s licensing agency, demanding that they withdraw their improper objections. We’re pleased to report that Lockheed has decided to withdraw its claim, and TurboSquid is putting the images back up forthwith.
