Something like that.

Zilla's case is weird, since Toho was able to reacquire and rebrand him since he was trademarked as Godzilla and Toho owned the character. However, what's weird is that while Toho never legally credits TriStar for Zilla despite using the explicit former "Godzilla 1998" design, while every use of LegendaryGoji includes "design property of Warner Bros. and Legenary."

That would mean that the companies that create their own Godzilla designs do actually have legal ownership of the designs, but somehow this was never an obstacle with Zilla.
