The thing about that is that trademarks can be classified differently. In something like the case of Edge, Razor Ramon, and Diesel, it's a trademark for a fictional character. Microsoft Edge is a technology trademark.

Wasn't Edge trademarked by a gaming company owner who basically tried to sue everyone who used the word in anything gaming related as well?

The judge literally said Landell's just fucking trolling everyone for money lmfaoooo

 

[Barry Poppins]

"Given the suspect nature of Dr. Langdell's representations to both the USPTO and the Court concerning plaintiff's current and future sales and business activities, it is an open question whether plaintiff's business activities legitimately extend beyond trolling various gaming-related industries for licensing opportunities."
