Trademarks x Halloween:

"The young girl with the yellow umbrella and slicker has been an icon for Morton Salt for more than a century...If you’ve been to any 'No Kings' rallies, you might’ve seen her likeness on a few signs, because of course, salt melts ICE."

Nobody in the Alberta government thought to do a quick check for trademarks first? Reminds me of the form I got from the AB govt...didn't print properly, was A4 paper size, had been copied from a European company. Source was in the meta data.

It's likely they have stolen from other small brands before and I just didn't recognize it. But stealing from small brands plus filing trademarks that seem to go after specific competition ("furry tales" possibly to go after ABU) should be seen as super concerning.

189/710: SHAZAM! THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #4 (2007)

One of the most fun parts of this book is spotting Jeff Smith’s creative trademarks carry over outside of the context of his own original work. Dewy monster eyes; the proportions of small characters; children with unrequited crushes on adults.

I'm sure it isn't his vision, but it'd be kind of cool of he could find a way to make "The Hunt for Ben Solo" without Disney. He wouldn't be able to use the name or any known Star Wars trademarks/characters. But Ben could be wondering around some strange place with amnesia... Got to be a way.
Adam Driver says Disney turned down a Ben Solo 'Star Wars' movie he pitched with Steven Soderbergh
Adam Driver wanted to do another 'Star Wars' movie, but an idea he and Steven Soderbergh got behind was rejected.

It's NOT a Nazi tattoo!

Under the post-war legal regime, Germany's then-government was dissolved and relinquished all of its property rights, including intellectual property, copyrights, and trademarks. Therefore the Totenkopf is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN!

In Mexico we consider names like that a form of child abuse, at the civil registry there is even a list of banned names (which include superhero names, trademarks, obscenities, some acronyms and abreviatures, etc.)

First y’all have to forcefully remove the fascists from the WH.
They aren’t going without a fight.
A mega MAGA supporter recently bought Dominion Voting Machines, & China fast-tracked trademarks for voting machines in 2018.
Trump said, “vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again”.
He meant it❗️

isn't the (american) red cross pretty terrible though

I recall the wisdom being to never donate to them because they use the money for legal battles over their trademarks and don't help anyone, or has that changed

If you want an actual answer apparently DC only holds active trademarks on quality comic characters like
Plastic Man, The Blackhawks, and Phantom Lady as far as I can see. The freedom fighters title is trademarked but I guess only some of the characters themselves are. The rest are public domain
Gotta tell me when doll man hits public domain so I can bring him back

Yes, NOA filed a Virtual Console trademark application on Apr 21 (img 1), but the reports are greatly exaggerated.

NOA holds two “VirtualConsole” trademarks already in effect since 2006. This new filing is a Section 66(a) application to extend VC’s international registration to the US (img 2).
