Comic Book Trivia
Superlaw
The worlds superhero and super-villain might seem generic now, but Marvel and DC comics actually have trademarks on them. By 1979, this copyright was already in place and was actually refiled. Copyright law says that generic words can’t be copyrighted but since Marvel and DC helped to create the concept of a superhero, they were able to argue that the word was tied to their companies. While the word “superhero” can still be used in a comic book, it can’t be a part of the comic’s name. The two giants were willing to work together to try to crush competition from other competitors like Image and Vertigo comics. Typical American story.
