HISS Tank boards member BCYOJOE has found a trademark application for GI Joe Renegades at Trademarkia. Looks like The HUB is going all out, as the Renegades trademark covers toys, games, and more! The filing date was April 7th with the status update on April 12th:
On Wednesday, April 07, 2010, a U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for G.I. JOE RENEGADES. This trademark is owned by Hasbro, Inc., 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, RI 02862.The attorney or correspondent listed for G.I. JOE RENEGADES is PAUL N. VANASSE of HASBRO, INC., 1027 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861-2500 . The G.I. JOE RENEGADES trademark is filed in the category of Toys and Sporting Goods Products , Education and Entertainment Services. The description provided to the USPTO for G.I. JOE RENEGADES is toy action figures; toy vehicles; board games; parlor games.
Could G.I. Joe Renegades be the media tie in that brings GI Joe back to the forefront and renew retailer excitement for the GI Joe brand?
UPDATE 4/26: BCYOJOE has just obtained more information from the USPTO, and thus confirmation, that this trademark not only covers toys, but is primarily for an animated series:
entertainment services, namely an on-going
animated television series.

Remember I told you guys about a new G.I. Joe name that might just be the next cartoon series, via this thread: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-revealed.html ?
It seems like my theory is becoming a reality.
Hasbro has filed a Trademark Application for "G.I. Joe Renegades".

Nice. With an update of the 12th, I'm thinking we will see something at Joecon.

That "Renegades" suffix makes one wonder if Hasbro is going to ride the "Losers", "Expendables", "A-Team" wave.
The Huntsman says
I didn’t expect anybody to read that tweet I made. I later deleted it because I’ve gotten in minor trouble in the past for revealing things before they were meant to be revealed, but it’s nice to see you all are looking into it further. I believe it has to be for the series mainly because of this line, taken from the United States Patent & Trademark Office website.

The logic part of my brain is telling me to STFU, but I'm still hoping for Taurus, Mercer, and Red Dog. >_>;
Moses says
Very possible announcement at Joecon.
If this is what they are going to put on TV, then I expect it to be their 'flagship' series. It is what kids will see, and be the commercial for toys. Maybe the Hub will also show classic GI Joe and may renew interest in ARAH. What I wonder about is how they will promote POC, or will it be overshadowed or somehow related to Renegades? I guess we will see. I hope whatever toys come from this are not CloneWars style sculpts.
