Is the language name Ada still trademarked by DoD, or has the trademark 
lapsed.  I had heard sometime ago that the intention was to let the trademark
on the name Ada lapse, but still control the use of a phrase similar to
"Validated Ada".  Is this presently the case or is the name Ada as a computer
language still actively protected by an AJPO trademark?

Re: Ada Trademark

The Ada trademark has lapsed.   No need for (R) any more.
The Ada Validation Office has a special pentagonal (get it?)
stamp that is limited for use with officially validated
Ada compilers.  You may have seen it in advertisements, etc.
