It is only legal is someone has challenged it, and

DMCH?  I know no one has challenged DMCH..  My
question was if anyone challenged the "GT-40"?

Nah, I think is "someone else" registered it then
maybe DMCH would have taken the lead to challenge it.

If what you are saying is true (about DMCH), then DMCH
should accept my proposal (or something similar) on
how to deal with trademark licensing.

I see no evidence that DMCH is motivated to protect
the trademarks from abuse.  Why else would they have
allowed it to be put on a bottle of whine?  (what
started this thread, if you remember).  How did the
DeLorean community benefit from this?  IMHO, they
whore out the trademark to sell some whine and make a
few Benjamin's for themselves.
