Allied Artists International, Inc. is the successor-in-interest to Allied Artists Pictures Corporation, and the sole holder of the Allied Artists trademarks.
Allied Artists Records
Allied Artists Records, which was a separate entity at the time of the Allied Artists Pictures Corporation bankruptcy, was left standing with the only remaining rights to the "Allied Artists" name, although those rights had up to that point been limited to motion picture soundtracks, records and music publishing.
Expansion of trademark rights
Following the 1980 bankruptcy and dissolution of Allied Artists Pictures Corporation, Allied Artists Records sought to expand its trademark and service mark rights to include all forms of entertainment, including those previously held by Allied Artists Pictures Corporation.
Allied Artists Records ultimately filed for and received federal trademark protection for "Production and distribution of entertainment services, namely, phonograph records, motion picture films, video tapes, DVDs, and radio and television programs" in International Class 041.
In 2007, given the length of time Allied Artists International, Inc. had exercised control over the name, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued Allied Artists International, Inc. (Allied Artists Records' successor) a Notice of Acceptance under Section 8 of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1058(a)(1) and Section 15 of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 1065, which deems Allied Artists International, Inc's right to the federal trademarks for "Allied Artists" incontestable.
Allied Artists today
Allied Artists International, Inc. is presently producing and distributing entertainment products that include motion pictures, television productions, DVDs, music CD's, entertainment software, music publishing and a myriad of other entertainment related activities.
