That doesn't mean, though, that they could not seek an injuction or sue in the
case of a new infringement. It wouldn't make their case a little tougher,
though.
FWIW - back when we went through the naming debates, I spoke with a trademark

just resting); he has seen 20 year old trademark violations successfully
prosecuted.
