Why hasn't Springfield bought out the 45 Super trademark from Ace Custom Guns?

I have a 1911 Springfield V16 Long Slide in 45 Super and it's a fabulous gun. It will shoot either 45 ACP or 45 Super with a spring change and it's built to handle the 45 Super (230g at 1150 fps) all day. I shoot Remington 230g Golden Sabres at 1150 fps for my self defense round. It's mystified me why Springfield never bought the trademark effectively letting Ace Custom Guns kill the cartridge.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
