I wonder how much the Tolkien estate is getting from them and Palantir


They’re hardly trademarked are they?


As original names they're under copyright in the US and UK, and in the UK the estate also retains right of publicity.


Just realized that the last copyright for LOTR will end in 2050


It's a patchwork. In some countries the Hobbit is already in the public domain; in others it will take another decade.
