Q: What products does this apply to? A: Publications, but basically comic books and magazines. Also, cardboard stand-up figures, playing cards, paper iron-on transfers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, pencils, notebooks, stamp albums, and costumes. From one of the links. Basically, if I create a pose-set for Poser, and use "Super Hero" as part of the name, according to this I'm not doing it as a publication, and well outside Marvel's and DC's "sphere of interest" so they aren't likely to try to sue me. Now, if I tried to create a comic with those poses, and tried to get it into comic stores with a title of "The Super Hero Squad" then they can stomp on me. At least, that's how I see it.
