That is what he is saying.
However, the ruling has a caveat that isn't being broadly reported: the estate holds certain trademarks they can still collect on. How much longer they can keep them is unclear to me but since they have been commissioning new "official" works, they likely will retain the trademarks for a while.
The big test of trademark protection of corporate ip assets is yet to come. SUPERMAN has been litigated repeatedly and is likely going to be tested yet again.
