It seems like the store would be HAPPY to have the similarity. Honestly, who's ever heard of them BEFORE this? Stan Lee would be HELPING this store by having his product's name seem to be associated with it.

Just because he's never heard of S7, doesn't mean no one else has...or hasn't

Unfortunately, we can't comment any more than what the suit says right now, and unfortunately, we can't let you guys spin too much on it either. As soon as it is all resolved, we will let you know.

I don't see what is to be commented on. The company that Stan Lee is associated with decided to proceed with its use of "Super Seven" and Brian and company decided to protect the S7 name and brand. Happens all the time in business. I hope it resolves quickly in favor of our friends!

What about the Super 7 performance car kits? Weren't they around before the store? And the Super 7 lottery? And the store name was originally an homage to the Ultra Seven.
Maybe "super seven" will be viewed as differrent from "Super 7".
Or maybe the new comic could be the Super 6, wait...that's been used before, too.

Makes me wonder if the 2011 film Super 8 was originally another number.

You're either joking, or you're disgustingly young and I hate you.

Super7 has no more to say about the lawsuit at this time.
