You are correct. But what i believe 10023 was trying to imply was that even though Macy's owned the trademark to Marshall Field's, they were unable to remove the Marshall Field's name and plaques off the State Street store since it was landmarked as such.
The question here is since the Tribune Tower is landmarked, does that designation include the lettering on the building (as it did for Field's) or not? If so, then the Tribune has a much weaker (if not impossible) case about having that signage be removed.
