Copyright and trademark law has nothing to do with "property rights". Intellectual "property" is the world's worst misnomer.

Most Americans have a sense of fair play, I think...

If you can seriously justify the damages, you deserve them. But the cases most regular folks hear about are like: A woman buys a cup of coffee at a fast food restaurant, spills it in her lap while trying to drink it and drive at the same time, and sues (and wins) for millions. (Do you know how long it would take me to earn a million dollars, before taxes? Answer: 25 years. How do you justify that much?)
Too many people see the courts as a means to "get rich quick", at the expense of somebody perceived as having deep pockets, including (some) lawyers.

Actually I think that the complaint is about the "Name" such as Wildcat because F4F is the Goverment assigned designation for the A/C the company named it. Now this brings up the possibility of re-naming the A/C. How about the F6F Heckcat, P-39 AeroCoupe, F-16 Bird-of-Pray, F-15 Bigger Prayer, then there is the P-40 P...hawk no maybe Felinehawk. Of course some A/C have second names anyway, the P-47 Jug, or the A-10 Warthog, or B-52 Buff. [:D][:D][:D]
