The battle over F-22 Raptor has ended, at least for companies like Interactive Magic who fought for the right to freely access information about the military plane.

　　Lockheed Martin officials met June 4 and decided that the company would not grant any licenses for trademarks and logos associated with the F-22 without consulting the US Air Force first and would not grant exclusive licenses at all. This clears the runway for iMagic's launch this month of its F-22 Raptor-based game, iF-22.

　　Lockheed Martin spokesman Ray Crockett told GameSpot News that while the fundamental policy had been determined, a few items still needed to be worked out, including what will happen to negotiations between the defense contractor and NovaLogic, which was working to secure an exclusive F-22 Raptor license.

　　iMagic did change the name of its product, though not as a result of any Lockheed-NovaLogic arrangement. It turns out that Apogee owns the computer software trademark to the "Raptor" name. iMagic reports that Apogee graciously offered to sell the name, but iMagic decided to invest its funds in making the game instead.
