They also sent a Combined Declaration of Use and/or Excusable Nonuse/Application for Renewal of Registration of a Mark under Sections 8 & 9 with this statement:
New game in the making or just a re-release? I think it's just a re-release or protection due to the image, and also that it's already in use, but thought it could be noteworthy to mention anyway.
