There is a "use it or lose it" aspect to trademark law--or so lawyers have told me. If a TM holder does not enforce the trademark, it gets eroded. This puts an organization into the position of having to defend itself against even tiny transgressions because they can become cumulative. I learned this lesson the hard way, sitting in a court room watching as an attorney whittled away at my company's trademark. It was very dispiriting. Joe Esposito
