On September 20th, US time, TME, a well-known American law firm, filed the trademark and copyright of The Crow in the Northern District of Illinois, which was the third time that The Crow defended its rights in the past three years. In many cases of IP rights protection in film and television, the frequency of leaving the country is not high, and it is indeed the most easily overlooked. In particular, the conventional word mark is easily used by cross-border sellers in listening, or the related copyright map is printed on clothes and daily necessities, which inadvertently causes infringement and damages to cross-border sellers’ funds. The case is currently in the filing stage, and cross-border sellers can quickly clear mines, which can reduce the loss of funds.
Crowvision, a California company, produced a classic film “Crow”, which was released in the United States in 1994.

The Raven tells the story of Eric Drewen, a murdered man, who becomes the immortal avenger of the murder of him and his fiancee. The film, played by Brandon Lee as a bloodthirsty anti-hero, became popular in industrial bands and played a role in the Gothic Renaissance in the 1990s.
