However, Archie apparently (and understandably) was unsatisfied with the outcome and opted to reboot the series rather than continue using Penders's characters and concepts on his terms. As such, Penders ended up being the de facto winner. I never stated there was a winner. I left it blank, because the whole lawsuit case is a mess to understand to begin with. You're right though; Penders is practically the "de facto" winner.

So Archie could've continued using the characters/concepts anyway, even though the outcome of the lawsuit didn't go exactly the way they wanted it to?
