"Space Marine" controversy In mid-December 2012, Games Workshop made a complaint to Amazon.com about Hogarth's novel Spots the Space Marine (a near-future military science fiction novel about real marines). Games Workshop indicated that the work infringed on their trademark of the words "space marine", and, as a result, Amazon blocked sales of the book."Update on Games Workshop’s Quarrel with Spots the Space Marine" - entry on M.C.A.

Subsequently, Spots the Space Marine reappeared on Amazon, and Games Workshop issued no further legal action.
