In the future, all space marines will be Warhammer...
I believe you're correct on the official name. I would make a case that most people thought of them as Space Marines though.

Apparently the term 'space marine' was never used in the movies, but the alien-themed toys by Kenner from 1992 do use it.

Would the fact that GW didn't enforce against that use be enough to invalidate their original 1987 claim?

Maybe if we also dug up a whole library of other fiction and toys/games using the term as well.
