Right from the bottom of the darn web page you guys are all on.
"MechWarrior® is a registered trade-mark of Microsoft Corporation and is used under license. All other trade-marks are the property of their respective owners; ® or ™ as indicated."
I swear, you guys are so thick sometimes. Keep It Simple Stupid
*Looks like a few others have posted it, maybe after they see this a few times they'll get the hint.
You're confused as to how trademarks work.
Take a look at mechwarrior tactical command's bottom of the page:

Just because you own a trademark doesn't mean a ton. You can license the trademark from someone in a deal to make a product, doesn't mean the product is owned by the person that licensed it to you.
Smith and Tinker own the licensing rights, and struck a deal to use the Mechwarrior Trademark. PGI was used as a developer to develop the product that Smith and Tinker own the licensing rights for.
