Isn't it funny how a company has to apply to use it's own shit?

Naw, they'll just force everyone to add a tiny "TM" to the top right of it.

If I'm not wrong, Arashikage in Japanese is the literal translation of Storm Shadow.

I think it is possible to copyright a public domain symbol, like Xbox copyrighting the X, as long as it's connected to a specific name, like Arashikage.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Two weeks at the WinkiVersity of Law, a few issues of Daredevil, and "A Civic Action", copyright is one of a dozen things I don't understand about law. |

I really think this is kind of bullshit.
Sure Hasbro should be able to make this product with this I Ching symbol but there shouldn't be anyway to copyright it. This is free domain as it is such a basic design seen on so many I Ching fortune books in the metaphysical section at my local book store. Putting a trademark on this would only cause problems for everyone else and this is not like a Coke or Pepsi logo. It is a couple dashes and lines. Hardly significant. Marvel, Hama, and others have used this for decades without incident. Only now does this happen? May have to dispute this trademark application as I think this is wrong. Here is US Patent Office web site to dispute applications. I urge everyone to seriously consider it. This is much like PIPA and SOPA. USPTO TTABVUE. Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Inquiry System |
