Re: legal to sell t-shirt with graphic of movies or tv shows title/graphic? 'Spiderman' the word is a trademark ... if it's artwork-related, it's a Copyright. So nobody owns
a copyright on the word 'Spiderman'.
>Nope. NBC owns the copyright to all things related to Heros. Sayings, logos and images.
Remember, you can't copyright a short phrase, or slogan. And NBC hasn't trademarked the phrase that you linked, for what it's worth.
