What is the current legal/licensing status of Macross in the USA?
Regardless of what happened in Japan, if I understand correctly what this link says, Harmony Gold owns the Macross trademark at least for US and it has renewed it until 2023 as indicated near the bottom of this Justia Trademarks page under Trademark Events
