58. I'm not aware that the USMC's logo is copyrighted
I don't believe the US Government can be a copyright holder, nor can a national or governmental symbol, such as the anchor and globe, be so restricted. However my understanding of patent and intellectual property law is limited to one course in law school and I don't practice in the field now.....

And you can for sure not copyright the term marines, as it is too generic of a term.
