According to Exiles, he does exist.-Kanrabat- wrote:I really like Hound. He's one of my favorite character and deserves more attention. That corpyright thingy is just a good sing that he will be back.
Man, I so want to see a TF Prime update of him!
And don't forget the toy!

What sort of name are you referring to? There are certain names they can't get because they're either already owned by somebody else or too common a name to get a legal trademark for.Rated X wrote:What would happen if a fan were to apply for the trademark to a forgotten Transformer name and get it ?

I mean, they can get "Autobot Hound", but not just "Hound". But, now I get what you're saying.Rated X wrote:Sabrblade wrote:What sort of name are you referring to?

Hasbro already used "Autobot hound" in 2008. So Im guessing the copyrights expire every 4-5 years. So hypothettically, if I had inside information on the exact expiration date and submitted an application for trademark before Hasbro renewed, could I own the name "Autobot Hound" ??? And if I could own it, can I sell it to a 3rd party company ??? Imagine a 3rd party figure legally having the real name instead of something stupid like "Hegemon" or "Backfirey" ??? That would be awesome...

Besides, if you did get "Autobot Hound", Hasbro could get around it with a name like "Tracker Hound" or something.
