The specifics of the arrangement have not been made public but it looks like both companies may continue to use the name, but we'll have to wait and see what happens when (and if) the companies make a statement.
The Variety article offers a refresher at what caused Hasbro to bring this case to court in the first place.
Variety wrote:The DC Comics character actually predates the Hasbro character, having been introduced in the “Teen Titans” comic series in 1977. DC Comics and Warner Bros. revived the character in 2015, when they launched the DC Super Hero Girls franchise. At the time, Mattel began selling a Bumblebee action figure and a Lego set based on the character.
Hasbro introduced its Bumblebee in 1983, and obtained a trademark on the Bumblebee name in 2015.

But one thing that I DO hope that will come out of this. A TF X-Over between Bumblebee and Bumblebee. Gimme a fembot with whings who can fly but also transform into a bug beetle!

Why not? Marvel TF Xover was a thing, DC Xover could be a thing too. We could have Bee-Bee, Batman-Megatron, Superman-Optimus, MrFreeze-Oilslick...
