Today, on June 15, 2020, Nintendo of America's trademark application, US Serial Number 87274495, for "Eternal Darkness" which was originally filed on December 20, 2016 was abandoned. The status of the filing currently reads:
Source: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87274495&caseType=SERIAL_NO&searchType=statusSearchAbandoned because no Statement of Use or Extension Request timely filed after Notice of Allowance was issued. To view all documents in this file, click on the Trademark Document Retrieval link at the top of this page.
The two prior trademark applications for "Eternal Darkness", US Serial Number 77932350 and US Serial Numbel 86017853, were abdoned for the very same reason. Likely Nintendo will just file in due time for a new trademark application for its horror title, as they have in the past.
Do you think there is hope for Eternal Darkness in form of a remake/remaster or perhaps as a new entry, or is it deemed to spend eternity in IP limbo?
