    I once read a FF story from the 1970s( I think it was FF #119) in which the Black Panther renamed himself the Black Leopard in order not to be confused with the militant group of the same name.

    Wouldn't it make more sense for him to officially copyright/trademark the name and legally forbid any other entity or individual from using it(hey, it works for Coca Cola and the Hells Angel Motorcycle Club)?

    I'm pretty sure Marvel copyrighted it.

    plus i think the marvel should get a fair use of it since the black panthers are no more than a racist group.
