Hasbro has applied for a brand new G.I. Joe trademark at the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO).
Categorized under Entertainment Services, Hasbro has expressed that the trademark is applicable for (but not limited to) Movies, Television Series, and Animated Series.
The timing of this application coincides with the recently revealed info of an Animated Series set to debut in 2022. It is likely that Hasbro is preparing things behind the scenes as we speak.
It is also worth noting that this is not a renewal. The filing is documented under Basis 1(b), meaning the Trademark is applied not for an existing use but for future use. Hasbro’s existing G.I. Joe trademarks including the Snake Eyes movie mark are still in Active status at USPTO.
Official details can be found after the jump.

Allspark Animations (formerly Hasbro Studios), SVP of global distribution and development Finn Arnesen has stepped down from his position to hand over the reins to Nina Scales.
Mr. Arnesen was instrumental in developing and distributing popular Hasbro shows such as Transformers: Prime, Transformers: Rescue Bots, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, G.I. Joe: Renegades, Transformers: Robots In Disguise and many more. His work resulted in Hasbro content being seen today in more than 195 territories across multiple platforms.
Mrs. Scales will step into the role of SVP of global distribution, reporting to Stephen Davis (Hasbro CCO and EVP).
We wish Nina Scales the best of luck, and a bright future to Finn Arnesen on his upcoming endeavors.

Hasbro has issued an official statement for the rebranding of their in-house television content production and distribution division; Hasbro Studios.
Titled as Allspark, the division is in charge of all TV animation content (Transformers, My Little Pony etc.) as well at live action programming (Power Rangers, Clue etc.).
“We are excited to refine our brand in the industry under the moniker ‘Allspark’, which is a fun homage to the life force in Transformers,” says Stephen Davis, Hasbro’s executive VP and chief content officer.
The official website is currently undergoing an update following the announcement. The URL is now updated as https://allspark.hasbro.com/ (formerly known as hasbrostudios.com).
Allspark is currently working on Season 2 of Transformers: Cyberverse, Zoids: Build Them To Life, Power Rangers: Beast Morphers and the final season of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Here’s a little news which flew under our radar. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic 2018 Christmas Special aired last weekend and featured a brief homage to the G.I. Joe Franchise.
On a mission to find the best gift ever, MLP: FIM character Discord used his magic to disguise himself and Rainbow Dash as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow respectively. It is ironic really; considering the fact that Snake Eyes is a silent character and Discord is quite the jabberjaw.
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and G. I. Joe: Renegades both began airing on Discovery Family Channel (formerly known as The Hub) about the same time. Renegades received the axe at the end of Season 1 but MLP trotted on to its current 8th Season with Season 9 green-lighted for a future date.
Will we see another G.I. Joe animated series? Hopefully. Since the cancellation of Renegades, changes happened to Hasbro; including the acquisition of Boulder Media Animation Studio which is currently producing many projects for Hasbro brands including Transformers (Cyberverse / Rescue Bots Academy), Littlest Pet Shop (World Of Our Own), Micronauts and My Little Pony (Equestria Girls). Hasbro also formed its own animation production company titled Allspark Animation. May be one day, the odds will be in our favor and we’ll get to see a new show based on the franchise we know and love. Yo Joe!
