| Topic | Hasbro files suit against DC comics over Bumblebee name |
| StealThisSheen 08/29/17 8:13:42 PM #48: | swordz9 posted... Are there even Transformers Legos? Also I don't want to label or use gender stereotypes or whatever, but like 99% of boys asking for it would likely mean the robot and 99% of girls would likely mean the Legos aimed at girls or the Barbie-like dolls. I mean if I had a son and he said Bumblebee I wouldn't even think he meant the Barbie or girl themed toys Again, though, that's assuming the parent even knows these characters exist. Hasbro's argument would be about people who don't know the robot exists/what it looks like/etc. You have to realize that both Hasbro and DC are going to be arguing that we, as consumers, are either complete idiots who would do no research and/or not be able to tell the difference, or nerds who know all of these characters and would scoff at the thought of getting them confused and/or label our kids with gender stereotypes. That's how trademark cases go. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
