It looks like the Smashing Pumpkins trademark was changed over to Billy as the sole owner of the name in 1994...kinda like how Axl Rose owns the name Guns 'n' Roses! In contrast, the Red Hot Chili Peppers share equal ownership of their name...no doubt a hotbed for future Beach Boy-esque name-feudin' hijinx!
