"Including all common-law and federally-registered trademarks, the work cannot ever contain any more trademarks because it hasn't acquired 'secondary meaning'. If you do so again, your company will be forced to go bankrupt".

-Marvel and DC Comics both have a TM on the word superhero, which dates back to at least 1917 (or so I read). Since many people with think of either comic company when hearing that word, it is a generic trademark that has achieved a secondary meaning-type status. For a federal court to tell both companies "This is a generic trademark and thus you have to have it terminated for good", a person with deep pockets would have to make that case to present the suit.

I would like to write a book or comic with “super-hero”, “super hero”, or “superhero” in the title. However, despite the fact that large corporations have Congress (by extension, SCOTUS) wrapped around their corporate fingers. That said, if a person was to sue them, what charges would those corps sue for?

When it comes to trademarks on his works, he put in his will that "for each series that I made, after the last copyrighted work I made during my life lapses, all TM with each said series is now public domain. If my estate and their licensing partners are to truly respect my intent/wishes, they will follow this request and not re-file any TM related to any of my works after all my published works have entered the public domain. This applies if even I have unpublished works published after I die."

-When a book, comic book, or movie series has lapsed all its copyright for all of its stories written/illustrated by the creators, the estate and licensing partners should lose all TM on the series. By this, I mean the estate/licensing partners lose all their TM for this series and they cannot re-file any TM related to this series under any circumstances. Why don’t we have laws saying that when all the stories creators worked on for a series they made lapses out of copyright, all the TM also expire? It would make sense there should be when a TM acts as a perpetual copyright, which is forbidden by the Copyright Clause. In other words, they are breaking that mandate.

*Now, artwork variations are fine. For example, there are many artistic variations of Peter Parker as Spider-Man, particularly his signature web-suit, but they at least look somewhat similar to the original Peter Parker.

-The importance of the public domain cannot be underestimated. So many story ideas are developed using it and those in turn, after so many decades, will be re-used by others. I think the 56-year coverage under the Copyright Act of 1909 was the best for duration length. Funny how this is the era many Disney classics, of which were largely public domain-based stories, were made yet Disney lobbies for continued copyright length. Hypocritical and/or ironic indeed. Sometimes Work A (book, short story, movie, or TV epi.) fell into the American public domain because they were not renewed. However, Work B (book, short story, movie, or TV epi. that is the source material for Work A) is still copyrighted. Being that Work A is a derivative work of Work B, this means that Work A can be effectively pulled from the public domain and re-copyrighted.

I don't care if Work A is still copyrighted, when a work falls into the American public domain, it should stay and not be allowed to get re-copyrighted. By doing so, what is effectively "public domain infringement" has been committed. Now, making a derivative work of that public domain work (colorization, digital re-mastering, deleted scenes, etc.) is different. However, I think such a derivative work should be labeled something like "director's cut" or "special edition" or "or digitally re-mastered edition" to show it is a bit different from its predecessor. Also, trademarking a public domain name, image, or even sound acts as a perpetual copyright. I am applying this more for comic book, book, and movie characters. Something like "Mona Lisa Films" with the famous painting and a globe behind her for that company's logo is fair game.

-Redef has an 8/27/18 article called "How the Paradox of the Term ‘Original Series’ Explains the Video Industry (Netflix Misunderstandings, Pt. 4)", written by a writer named Matthew Ball. He wrote that "excluding sports, a streaming service has five core types of programming (fairly simplified)". The first core type, the Developed Originals", is what I consider a true Netflix original in the traditional sense of the word "original".

Here is a paraphrased explanation of that type: The "Developed Original" is made, financed, and distributed by a network or streaming service that will be airing/streaming that show or movie. With this, the network/service can brand that show how it wants, has complete control of the budget and creativity, has full say on whether they should cancel or renew, and usually has control of all IP-related rights. A "Developed Original" could come from a production company/writer that has a first-deal look with Netflix. Netflix merely has to cover production costs to buy/distribute the show.

What is a first look deal? Party A (a creative talent and their production company) is in a contractual agreement with Party B (another production company) that Party B will have first dibs to consider a project from Party A. This is because Party B is giving financial aid to Party A, so they are the first to get distribution/production rights.
