There would probably have been no suit if UBI had approached them for permission. Instead, they deliberately and carelessly went ahead and used the name without permission. In a case like this, if N-G had not sued, they would have lost all rights to the names. Other users, such as plastic model makers, ask for and pay for permission to use the name, which is N-G's property.
It's very unfortunate it turned out this way, but protecting your property from theft is not %#*@# ! [Expletive removed by Fireskull].
BTW, there's probably no problem with using the name if no one is making money from it, such as mods created and provided free.

Well, no it's not, but DESIGNATIONS of airplane should have expired 65 years ago. These were government designations of the airplanes 65 years ago. HOW COME THEY DID NOT SUE UBI FOR THE F6F HELLCAT OR THE TBF AVENGER planes? How come? How come? This is such a big bunch of %#*@# ! [Expletive removed by Fireskull]. hypocrisy!

Their fat cat lawyers and their overpaid lawsuits to make a name for themselves! HAH! Boeing has yet to sue Team Daidalos for its use of the B-17 Flying Fortress or the B-29 Superfortress! WHERE THE HELL IS BOEING'S TEAM OF "LAWYERS" and big fat cat lawyers!
