Please, many apologies if I offended, it wasn't supposed to be rude just
what I deduced from your remark

Fair enough, I've sent a mail to trademarks@. With a little luck they'll
be able to clarify.  The one thing that we have onside is that "Apache"
has been used by others:  Boeing obviously for the helicopter and an
offshore power boat manufacturer over which there was a Federal court
battle for ownership of the TM.  That was with another boat manufacturer
however.  Boeing use is obviously very high profile but I haven't been
able to find any mention of them having any deal with the Apache Tribal
Nation over it's use. 

It may not ever be an issue, but experiences at this end of the world
just makes me a little wary.

Cheers
