Overview
- Universal City Studios submitted a trademark application for “Jaws (1975)” on September 3, 2026 under Serial Number 50089372, and the paperwork explicitly seeks coverage for amusement park attraction and theme park services.
- The application covers a wide range of entertainment uses including production and distribution of films, on-demand rentals, organizing events, contests, displays, and exhibits, not just theme-park rights.
- Universal Orlando currently has major redevelopment opportunities — The Lost Continent is being removed at Islands of Adventure and Fast & Furious: Supercharged has permanently closed at Universal Studios Florida — creating real estate that could host new IP-driven experiences.
- Industry and reporting sources caution that trademark filings are a routine legal step to protect brands and do not by themselves confirm a new ride or land, so the paperwork is a signal to watch rather than an announcement of construction.
- The filing has renewed fan speculation about a Jaws return and raised competition among other legacy and third-party franchises for available space, and the next concrete signs to look for are official Universal plans, planning permits, or construction notices.
