Sony abandons The Last Guardian U.S Trademark

Sony has abandoned the US trademark for The Last Guardian. They may renew it later, but at this moment, it seems like the trademark is up for grabs. This is not a new thing, however, as even Versus XIII was renewed later by Square Enix, so it remains to be seen what Sony does here.
