Yes, the Monster was, but the Movie and Characters as far as I know are not. At any rate, they didn't get the right's until TriStar's right expired. So at some point in the future Toho may gain right's to the Legendary Godzilla Monster design, they have no claim to the movie itself, any original characters or Monsters made directly by Legendary
