Marvel in two minds about legal move against crypto startup's 'Wacoinda' plans

A cryptocurrency startup - Wilsondom LLC - has taken inspiration from the fictional nation of Wakanda from Marvel’s motion picture Black Panther. Marvel, however, is yet to take a legal decision on whether it wants to oppose the move of the cryptocurrency startup.

Marvel Characters, the company’s subsidiary, had filed for extensions with the US Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) last week to grant some more time before making its decision regarding the opposition of the Wakanda Wine Fest and Wacoinda trademark submissions.
