Activision trademarks the name DJ Hero [I Heart Games]

It’s been recently reported that Activision has tradmarked the name “DJ Hero”… and with all the “what-ifs” of possible Guitar Hero spinoffs, whether it be Cowbell Hero, Theramin Hero, Tambourine Hero etc, spinning is one of the only one that makes sense.  You think scratching and beatmatching is easy? Think again, my friend.  You know how badly you failed the first time you tried to play drums in Rock Band?  Times 100.

Of course once again, trademarks don’t really mean a whole lot– it probably means that maybe someday they might think about it or it could mean they’re already in pre-production or it might just mean they don’t want you grabbing djhero.com and then trying to sell it to them at some point down the road for millions of dollars.

There’s not a whole lot of details at the moment but in legal terms, the trademark refers to “computer game software and related instruction manual sold together as a unit; interactive video game programs; computer game discs; downloadable software for use in connection with computer games; video game controllers; interactive video game comprised of a CD or DVD sold as a unit with a video game controller.”

Just in case, get your oversized sunglasses and your strobe light and your giant headphones and get ready to rock out.
