We need to ensure the same is true for Army Builder.

Very apt analogy and exactly the kind of thing I was referring to. It's too bad the law creates such a catch 22. Your average consumer is unaware of the intricacies of the law, and will probably see your "reminder" as annoying at best. But if you don't remind them you could end up losing your trademark. I don't envy you there.
