Or will the Saul Zaentz company own them? I mean, they now own the copyright to names from the books. They own the name 'The Hobbit' and have been going after pubs and restaurants in Britain that having been using the name 'The Hobbit' for 20+ years.
For example, the Hobbit pub in Southampton has had that name for 20+ years, and Zaentz is threatening them with legal action. Both Stephen Fry and Ian McKellan have spoken out against their boss and in support of the pub when they were filming 'The Hobbit' in New Zealand.
