The law firm of Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg (RJLF) has announced a landmark victory in its trademark case against comics publishers Marvel and DC Comics. They have obtained an order from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office cancelling Marvel and DC Comics’ joint trademark for the word “Super Hero” and thus allowing everyone to freely use the term.

This was granted after Marvel and DC failed to respond to court requests. RJLF represents their clients, S.J. Richold and Superbabies Limited, in the case.
