Not sure if it means
absolutely nothing hehe. In my opinion redump should catalog all title stylizations written on box/manual/etc. The dumper (or others) can input them if they wish (main titles being the only mandatory field). For example in this case it'd be:
Main Title: SoulCalibur III
Spindle Title: SOULCALIBUR®III
Box Logo Title: SᴏᴜʟᴄᴀʟɪʙᴜR®III
InGame Title: SᴏᴜʟᴄᴀʟɪʙᴜR®III
SFO Title: SOULCALIBUR III
Licence Title: SOULCALIBUR®III
"Main Title" being the No-Intro\common franchise name (aka what the world, like mobygames or wiki, write the game as). Also what is used by redump to generate filenames. Typically "Main Title" stylization is same across all games in the series, and, this would make everything on the HDD look nicer (bundled together and consistant).
The other titles would need to probably be specific per system (aka only PS3's have SFO Titles, TuboGraph 16 probably doesn't have licence titles based on screen shot you gave, etc. Maybe this is all too tedious/accurate for what redump wants to do
. I'm sure it's possible to implement to lessen the tediousness though, something like a bunch of "Title: ____" fields with checkbox's afterwards so people could for example write each stylization once and just checkbox the boxes with that version of the title (aka above Spindle/License would be checkboxed on a line and InGame/SFO checkboxed on a line). Maybe even a checkbox to indicate if it is a "Logo Mark" or "Word Mark".
Just a thought, I'm sure it's been suggested before though.
Nothing about trademarks (which are usually in uppercase and can't be used as a title).
Maybe thats true for other systems, but, at least for PS3 less than 20% are all caps (usually only if the logo title is all caps). If you don't believe me here is a sample list of the licence titles for some of my ps3 dumps:
