"Because I abhor ignorance, here it is on Bluesky once and for all: Archie owns nothing of Archie Sonic. No later than 2012, they transferred any rights they had of Archie Sonic over to SEGA - where they have collected dust since. Source: www.courtlistener.com/docket/45241..."

"Excerpt from page 4 of a court document, “Memorandum & Opinion - Document #154,” for the case of Narrative Ark Entertainment LLC v. Archie Comic Publications, Inc.. It reads, “No later than 2012, Archie, purporting to own the registered works, transferred and assigned to Sega Archie’s interest in and rights to them. (See Ferdinand Decl. Ex. 23). Thus, on Archie’s telling, Sega now owns the copyrights to the registered works.”"

"Another excerpt from the aforementioned document, same page, that reads, “The contract consummating this transfer and assignment states Archie and Sega intended to make this transaction through prior contracts signed in 1992 and 2002; however, the 2012 contract acknowledges Archie “may not have” successfully accomplished the transaction through those prior contracts. (Ferdinand Decl. Ex. 23 ¶ 6.3.1).”"

"Final excerpt, from page 13. “Thus, Archie (1) does not currently own the copyrights; (2) did not own the copyrights at any time when Narrative Ark claims to have owned them; and (3) transferred to Sega Archie’s rights to sue Narrative Ark for infringing Archie’s purported ownership of the registered works. Accordingly, Archie lacks statutory standing to countersue Narrative Ark under Section 501(b) of the Copyright Act. The Court therefore grants Narrative Ark’s cross-motion for summary judgment on Archie’s counterclaim.”"
