Rights to Action Comics #1 returned to Siegels

Click on THIS LINK for the full story on the court decision to give the heirs of Jerry Siegel the copyright to Action Comics #1.

I've been reading the 72 page legal document trying to discern exactly what this means, and when I do, I will post more of my own feelings on this.

For now, all you need to know is this gives the Action Comics #1 trademark back, and I believe the rights to Superman, but definitely not yet the rights to Superboy. It's a legal mess, especially with all the appeals that will get filed. But I will have more on this later. Feel free to download that legal document and try to make sense of it yourself, Newsarama (the link) has it linked.
