"Landers said that while it's easy to sympathize with the defendants, trademark-holders have a legal obligation to protect their rights before their logos and corporate phrases become generic."

I would bet one of Acacia's lawyers got fired or left the company to kick up a new business like what I am reading.

Come on AQ, you know damn good and well that trademark owners have to aggressively defend their marks or risk losing them all together.

If you have a trademark and don't defend it from infringers you lose the rights to the trademark.

Any lawyer will tell you that.
