  If they had no case they lost. If they have a case, they win.

  It’s a truism.

    What does that have to do with the name Hoarder?

      U think you’re just pointing out that trademark law doesn’t work the way a reasonable person would assume. I agree, it’s crazy. But if they won, then it was relevant to their trademark (somehow), and failure to bring relevant cases can lead to losing it.

      So yes, it’s weird and sketchy and feels morally wrong. But also yes, it’s required and expected legally.
