In a groundbreaking decision, the U.S. Trademark Office has canceled a series of "Super Hero" trademarks jointly held by comic industry titans Marvel and DC Comics. This ruling marks a significant victory for comic artist S.J. Richold and his company, Superbabies Ltd.

This decision effectively places the term "Super Hero" into the public domain, a move hailed by Superbabies' attorney, Adam Adler of Reichman Jorgensen Lehman & Feldberg, who was featured in the article, as "a victory for creativity and innovation."

Adler emphasized the broader implications of the ruling: "By establishing Super Heroes' place in the public domain, we safeguard it as a symbol of heroism available to all storytellers."
