I was looking at the new life on mars sets today and I noticed that the word
mech is used in the name "Recon Mech". I had always thought that mech was a
copyrighted word owned by FASA and whatever company currently owns the
rights to mechwarrior.
It's funny though because mech has pretty much become the standard word for
battle robots nowadays....
Any ideas?

| I think you closer to the truth when you state that 'mech' and 'mecha' have become umbrella terms for the genré. Anyone can use them without possiblility of repercussions. BTW, below is the US Copyright Office entry for Mechwarrior: TX-3-626-452 (...) (24 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
