Red Cross Copyright

Am I the only one that thinks this could be a huge issue? Video game nerd alert. It seems the Red Cross Society has the copyright to of all things — the red cross. Any use of this symbol in video games violates their copyright as well as Chapter VII: Articles 38-44 of the Geneva Convention of August 12, 1949. Here is a link to a pdf document of a letter from The Red Cross to what I assume is a game development company in Vancouver, Canada. Has anyone played a game where they didn’t pick up a little pack with a red cross on it to replenish their health?
