Quote: "There may be some comfort for LMC in the fact that many people have as little wish to be associated with military aircraft as have LMC to be associated with illegal drug use."
Summary: Big companies do bad things every day. Little London entrepreneur beat over-reaching corporate bad guys, who's trademark is laughably weak.. Lockheed didn't coin the phrase 'skunkworks' or build any "exclusive" value in the term skunkworks outside of military aircraft.. and the term is part of the public realm.
From Wikipedia: "Skunk works is a term used in engineering and technical fields to describe a group within an organization given a high degree of autonomy and unhampered by bureaucracy, tasked with working on advanced or secret projects"
... put that in your pipe and smoke it Lockheed.
