I don't know if this sheds any more light on the situation, but here is my
understanding of large companies defending their trademark:
I was reading an article in Florida one day that was telling of "Disney"
sueing a day care center for using some of their pics and names without
their permission.  I thought this was terrible and decided that "Disney"
must be a monster for doing such a thing, but a friend explained the
situation to me.  It seems that for any company to protect its' self from
people stealing their trademark, they must actively pursue all violators no
matter what the situation is.

I'm no lawyer either, but I know DC Comics took legal action against a
elementary football team called the "Superman."  They also used the Superman
logo on their helmets.  Now, I'm sure DC could've careed less... heck, they
probably liked it.  But, as stated above, they had to crack down on everyone.
