Trademarking Stan Lee
POW! Entertainment, Stan Lee's company that he is no longer suing for a billion dollars, has been ramping up their trademark registration in recent weeks. Here are a few highlights that may indicate where the company may be heading.
Stan Lee's Comic Universe (with this headshot), Stan Lee's Mighty 7, Stan Lee Comics and Stan Lee's Soapbox. Might this indicate a new comic book line with Stan Lee's face and name full front? That would be my conclusion.
They have also registered Stan Lee's Collectibles, which looks like something aimed at former business manager Max Anderson's company, Stan Lee Affiliate Network which suggests some kind of collaborative advertising scheme in his name, and Stan Lee Presents.
