Company name in title

I thought IMDb disallowed company names in titles. However, I recently stumbled across Marvel's New Warriors. Am I mistaken that this should just be the original title "New Warriors"? I don't really see anything in the title guide for this.

I could find no evidence of it being disallowed anywhere?

Even did this to see if it was within the title submission process. Nope
Unless it is an unwritten rule?!

Perhaps this falls to the same category as ”complete title” in the alternate titles section:


”The complete version of the primary title (or a corresponding short(er) alternate title). Since the primary title is supposed to be the complete title it is only used for special cases such as overlong primary titles (e.g. "John Carpenter's Halloween").”

Maybe. Unfortunately, the old help system was more of the message board format that I don't have access to (or remember how to access). I was told by an employee while trying to add the 2017 series Marvel's Spider-Man not to use the company title, so it was Spider-Man instead.

When it comes to the Marvel on Spider Man, it is only on Books and PS4 Games.
But I can't find any Image for a Movie withe the studio and the title.

The new cartoon that started in 2017 definitely says "Marvel Spider-Man".

Hi Adrian -
Our preference is that these titles be listed without the company name, as such, I have now corrected the series title listing for "New Warriors".  Cheers!

Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors probably should be corrected to Secret Warriors as well then.

Marvel Rising is a brand name for their "upcoming" superheroes.
