  I know but it's so funny to look at and also there was no hyphen

  
  

  I'm pretty sure all of the trademarks H-B (who still exists on paper) has on "Scooby-Doo" have the hyphen in them

  You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

  Trademark law is a tricky thing. Even though it may be registered with the hyphen, the trademark protection covers the non-hyphenated version too because it's simliar enough that someone would think HB owns anything "Scooby Doo" related

  Don't trademarks have to be actively defended?  Would put even more of a chilling effect on others' mentions of them.

  If you go to the supermarket I'm sure you'll see Scooby and the gang emblazoning plenty of processed food packages.

  
  

  Also, trademark holders can keep renewing their trademarks nowadays.
