Marvel and DC ignore ‘SUPER HERO’ tradetags

You understand how Marvel and DC have held unitet ownership over tradetags for “Super Hero” for decades? That time is apparently mostly over, as the US Patent and Tradetag Office has call offed the companies’ claim to cut offal of their tradetags, inestablishs Reuters.

The call offlation comes as the result of a dispute from Superbabies Limited, a petite company that produces a series of Superbabies comics about, well, superhero babies. Superbabies creator S.J. Richanciaccess determined to dispute the two comic huges’ claim to the tradetags after DC “tryed to block Richanciaccess’s efforts to back The Super Babies,” wrote the law firm that recurrented Richanciaccess in a free.

Marvel and DC didn’t reply to the dispute by a July 24th, 2024 due date, resulting in the tags’ call offlation, according to the USPTO’s decision. As such, the office call offed four patents, the anciaccessest of which USPTO write downs show was for the tradetag “SUPER HERO,” enrolled in 1967. The two companies still co-own a “SUPER HEROES” tradetag, enrolled in 2018, as well as a “SUPER-VILLAIN” tradetag that they protectedd in 1985.

If you want to dive down a rabbit hole on the subject of Marvel and DC’s super hero-connectd tradetags, I’ve got equitable the slenderg. One of the lawyers comprised in the Superbabies tradetag dispute, Adam Adler, actuassociate wrote up a two-part series of articles for Escapist Magazine airyly elucidateing how the companies came to unitetly own the tradetags and what they’ve done to protect that ownership over the years. Adler connects out to other articles with even procreateer dives, too.
