Who Are Archie Comics Trademarking Now?

Archie Comics look like they are running another round of trademarks of late, and maybe giving away upcoming plans for the publishing line – or for characters due to appear in the Riverdale TV show. Remember, if you register a trademark, you have to use it – or risk losing it…

Black Jack was a character created in 1941 for Zip Comics, a superheroic figure. Patrolman Jack Jones gunned down by gangsters and cemented up in a wall. Rescued from death, he kept his identity secret – and deceased – and became the Black Jack to hunt down criminals.

Archie Comics have also registered this physical appearance of The Fox by Dean Haspiel with the note that 'the color(s) red, blue, yellow, black and white is/are claimed as a feature of the mark. The mark consists of letters and shapes.'

They are also claiming The Shield, which I am sure Marvel Comics may take an interest in, but more obscurely Dotty and Ditto, about a cowgirl and her talking parrot, and the more famous Katy Keene, both classic Archie characters created by Bill Woggon.

I wonder what plans Archie Comics has for these?
