Affilliation
sōō’pər-hîr’ō ™
I ran into this press release regarding a comic book whose title was changed from “Superhero™ Happy Hour” to “Hero Happy Hour” because “the two big comic book companies” claim to own the trademark to “SUPER HEROES™”, and variations thereof.
I am very interested to know just when the “big two” registered this trademark, and whether those kind of things apply given how the word is used today. I think it’s ridiculous, similar to some fair-use issues I’ve seen that documentary film makers run into, so it should be interesting to know the history, not to mention how the “big two” will continue to uphold their trademark.
