/mlp/intellectual property

  1. So you want the I.P Friendship is Magic out of the hands of [insert corporation name] ? Good for you ! Here, is the index where we put any important information about the subject !
  2.  
  3. >But Anon ! What is an "I.P" ?
  4. An "I.P" or Intellectual Property, refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions; literary and artistic works; designs; and symbols, names and images used in commerce.
  5. From https://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/ , website of the "World Intellectual Property Organization".
  6.  
  7. >Anon ! It's almost impossible, /mlp/ don't know how to do it !
  8. Exactly ! Before we even dream of doing something with money, we need to understand how the I.P work, who own it , from where it started to today ! This is what this paste is about !
  9.  
  10. Websites useful to start :
  11.  
  12. https://www.wipo.int/portal/en/index.html ;
  13.  
  14. The objective is to map out the Intellectual Property of "My Little Pony : Friendship is Magic" or the generation 4 of ponies.
  15. Until the right sources are found, there will be no neat document easy on the eyes for you.
  16.  
  17. Here, we need to know who own the copyright :
  18.  
  19. >Anon, what is-
  20. Yes, a copyright is someone or an entity who own the exclusive rights to produce content about X things. The holder can then grant permission if someone want to use the idea. If not, you can have legal troubles if you use it. So they will sue your ass. In case, the infamous "cease-and-desist" from Nintendo to youtubers. (https://www.upcounsel.com/ownership-of-intellectual-property).
  21.  
  22. Here, concerning MLP:FiM, it's the copyright, the design and the trademark. Today, (23/10/2023) we don't know if the design of EVERY ponies seen in the G4 show are owned or it's just certains characters (Mane 6, Celestia & Luna, Discord ... well, the characters that appear regularly). It's why we need to search for it and scour the Internet for it.
  23.  
  24. > Illustration: Drawing or design which also includes word(s)/ letter(s)/number(s) Typeset :
  25. https://trademarks.justia.com/851/99/my-little-pony-85199195.html
  26. https://uspto.report/TM/87659271
  27.  
  28. If you can find multiple sources about who own what, the better because it set up redundancy in case of failure from a website.
  29. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  31. Something I found relevant, the attorney of record is the same since the start : "Sara Beccia". Don't know what to do with this, but better than nothing.
  32.  
  33. On the website (https://www.gerbenlaw.com/trademarks/toy-companies/hasbro/), we can discover a neat little history of Hasbro, and all of it's IP. And looking and cataloguing all the links, they got everything about My Little Pony in a vice-grip :
