Activision Trademarks Crash Bandicoot for Film and TV

Activision filed a trademark application this year for the Crash Bandicoot franchise that specifically lists ‘feature-length motion pictures’ and ‘television series.’ The filing names film and television formats among a range of entertainment categories and lists a registration term through 2035.

Trademark filings do not confirm that a specific film or series is in active production. A trademark grants legal rights to use, license and protect a brand in the formats listed, and companies commonly file them to preserve options for future projects across different media.

Reports circulated late last year that an animated Crash Bandicoot series was in development for a streaming service and linked to an animation studio. Those reports did not include confirmation from Activision or the streaming platform and remain unverified.

Activision has previously licensed Crash Bandicoot for products and collaborations. The new filing broadens the formal scope of rights tied to the franchise to cover audiovisual adaptations and related merchandising.

No official statement from Activision accompanied the filing, and no production partner or release schedule has been disclosed. Additional trademark registrations, casting notices or production filings would offer more concrete information about any film or television projects.
