It's always fun to follow an official trademark application. It can show the intent of a publisher, but also how much they care about the trademark being applied for. It costs money, so it's often not done willy nilly, often over things that will make the publisher lots of money. Such as movies.

But in this case, the registration from Marvel Characters is just in the field of "Downloadable electronic publications in the nature of comic books, comic magazines and stories in illustrated form"

And they are:

Age Of Ultron
Alpha Flight
Black Panther
Guardians Of The Galaxy
New Warriors
Rocket Raccoon
Strikeforce Morituti
Journey Into Mystery
Irredeemable Ant Man

Is this Marvel just covering some trademark bases over books that hadn;t been trademarked on digital lines? Can we expect a new Alpha Flight title? Or are these books on which downloadable promotions will be concentrated? A new Rocket Raccoon only available to the digital crowd?

I have no idea. But, as ever, always fun to speculate!
