Yeah, I think you're likely to end up with, like, a toy that says "DC's ULTRAMAN" or something.
From my armchair analysis/not-great-memory of how similar trademark cases have developed, it has more to do with who's using the name more prominently, and what specific trademarks that company secured. I don't recall ever seeing an Ultraman-branded comic from DC, so (despite debuting their Ultraman character in comics two years prior to the toku character debuting in Japan) Marvel and Tsuburaya are probably on sturdier ground defending a trademark case.
As it is, with Ultraman-DC maybe showing up in two or three comics a year, and never as the title character, I think DC's okay not fighting this one out in court. It
could
go their way in the U.S. (DC got there first), but there's just no financial upside.
