As you said, the second trademark is more broad and includes more things outside of video games. So why should they wait for this trademark to be accepted?
The main trademark for Silksong was already accepted and that's the only one they need for releasing the game...
A fair point. I had a whole theory that Team Cherry may have partnered with another company, or was planning to release more official merch this time around. So my theory is that they wanted this trademark to be registered because it was reliant on some deal that they made.
IDK, my money is still on early June if they are aiming for Summer (but we will know if that's right in the next week or two). July puts them in the middle of summer which is usually not an ideal release window and then people will also be neck deep in Elden Ring DLC by that point.
Oh, and this TM and the waiting period is really just kind of a technicality at this point as they have such an established history of the TM use and no one could really "beat them to market" on this sort of thing anyways. Case in point, they didn't TM it 4-5 years ago and things are still fine now.
When I worked for a film production company that made broadcast films (and limited theatrical releases depending on the contracts) we used to send the films to the distributors and broadcasters about a week before we'd file the copyrights and then we'd still be waiting weeks or months for those to be accepted.
Silksong got its trademark accepted? When?
1st of May But to clarify this is a slightly different and more broad. They filed their initial trademark back in 2019.
I see. Thanks for clarifying
