New I thought govt. agencies couldn't hold a trademark
I remember when I was still in hearing that we couldn't prevent use of the logo, since the government couldn't hold a trademark. That seems not to be the case now. Does anyone know when that changed, or am I mis-remembering and it never was the case?

Yes, it was recent.
