Custodians of Alamo have new outlook: Remember the trademark

"The Alamo" – the final two words of Texas' most famous battle cry – could soon be the registered trademark of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the longtime custodians of the iconic San Antonio mission.

That might raise the eyebrows of history buffs, Alamo gift vendors and the thousands of business owners who use "Alamo" in their moniker. But legal experts said the Daughters' trademark probably won't affect others, and the group said it simply wants to sell its own line of official merchandise.
