New York Knife Question

I noticed Cooper Cutlery is currently making knives with a New York Knife Co. stamp; which as I understand, was one of the companies that, eventually, became IKAC/Imperial Schrade Corp.
I am wondering, was it a trademark that stayed with Schrade until '04, or was it something that lapsed? As I'd assume Taylor thus still has those trademarks.

Cody I believe Cooper owns that trademark now, which seems so ridiculous to me as he's in Ohio and has zero relationship to NY Knife Co. I know Imperial kept the Hammer Brand trademark up but I don't know if they ever used the New York Knife Co name themselves.

ISC used the New York Knife Co trademark on some knives - for example the limited run Scout knife anniversary knives, and the stag handled patterns made for SMKW.
I was surprised to see Cooper using the trademark.
