Littleton, Massachusetts-based Alliant Computer Systems Corp is taking legal action in an attempt to prevent Honeywell Inc using the name Alliant Techsystems Inc for the defence and marine systems, test instruments division and signal analysis centre business it plans to spin off to shareholders: shares in the new company would be traded on the New York Stock exchange and the minisupercomputer maker claims a federal registered trademark on the Alliant name; Honeywell could probably get out from under by simply substituting the word Allied for Alliant in the tag.
