Can this SHIT get any worse??? Fucking TYBW is a curse upon this franchise.

On September 12th, Lemon Inc.—a subsidiary of ByteDance responsible for legal matters—surrendered all remaining trademarks for Bleach: Soul Resonance in the public registry.

To make matters worse, the global website has region-locked access to users outside of East Asia, and the global team now appears to be focusing exclusively on that region.

However, other legal documents reveal that the following countries and regions were at least considered:
New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, Macau, India, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Canada, the USA, Uruguay, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Bahrain, Israel, Qatar, Turkey, the UAE, Egypt, South Africa, and Europe (EU, UK, Switzerland).

Returning to the beginning, the possible reasons for the total surrender are:

-Surrendering them all at once in order to renew them together later (an uncommon practice)

-Rebranding (possibly to Mirror’s High, though this is unlikely since Shueisha, not Lemon Inc., registered that trademark)

-Publisher transfer (also unlikely, as Nuverse usually publishes games internationally without third-party involvement)

-Project cancellation for the global market outside of East Asia
