Iron Heart in the Press or on other Sites

G & H are just laying the groundwork for global garment domination. Instant advertising to the entire planet? I think it's brilliant….....but also some trademark infringement! Need to get a settlement out of this, G

Agreed, let that mad comic and movie money supplement some new denim production lol

"The success of a lawsuit to stop the infringement turns on whether the defendant's use causes a likelihood of confusion in the average consumer"

Pretty much exactly what it will do….......

That's because I told him….because frankly, I am really worried about what Marvel will do.....

[Dion]

google translate sucks. So he's worried, too?

[Giles]

No he's excited, but that's because he does not understand the possible consequences….

Let him marvel at the thought of it being a good thing…

Japan (And Asia in general) doesn't quite understand copyright infringement. Doesn't seem to be a big deal to them. You see it all the time, blatantly in your face, and not a soul seems to care

Is the Iron Heart name copyrighted by Works, Inc? Or could there be a real danger of marvel coming after the brand? That would be such a bummer. I don't think marvel has used that name before recently, but maybe someone else could chime in who knows more

Marvel is one thing, which might be cause for some minor concern. To me the greater threat is that they're tied in with Disney, who are pretty well known for being lawsuit prone in this area

[sabergirl]

Well, but Disney only has jurisdiction in the films, right? Or the whole kit and caboodle? If the concern is who used/copyrighted the name first, I was just assuming the only appearance of this character would thus far be only in the comics. Although the whole thing is moot if Works, inc never trademarked the iron heart name.

Marvel first introduced an 'Ironheart' character in a support role in October 2000…

It is possible that the character name was copyrighted then.

[dylantbmayes]

Marvel Entertainment is wholly owned by The Walt Disney Company.

Welp, now I know why we could possibly be nervous

I have a friend who works for Marvel.  His take:

Don't worry:

1. Iron Heart came first
2. Iron Heart is NOT Ironheart
3. Iron Heart is NOT a superhero
4. Marvel knows Iron Heart, I believe! In fact they choose to call Riri Williams "Ironheart" in a single word…
5. Registered Marvel main characters are about 4500 and every day new ones are added. They cannot claim rights on every word in the vocabulary!
6. I don't think Marvel will pursue in U.S.A. ...
