What this record means
The record shows that the mark “BATMAN” is live and registered on the Principal Register, owned by DC COMICS, a partnership organized in New York. It covers toys and sporting goods, including action figures, plush toys, toy vehicles, dolls, board and card games, puzzles, Christmas tree ornaments, and computer and video game consoles for use with a television receiver. A similar name used in any of those categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give DC COMICS control over every use of the word “BATMAN” in other contexts. The mark’s status was last updated on February 19, 2026, when the registration was renewed. No oppositions, cancellations, or other enforcement actions appear in the supplied history. For someone looking to use a similar name, the presence of this active registration in the toy and game categories suggests a meaningful risk of conflict if the new use falls within those goods.
