It's interesting that trademarks must be defended or they are lost.
So, for example, if a church uses "Super Bowl" in violation of the
trademark, and the Super Bowl people don't really care, they still have
to go after the church for it. If they don't do it, eventually some
competitor will use it in a way that really causes problems and the
Super Bowl people won't be able to win a law suit because it will be
claimed that their trademark had lapsed into the public domain. I
think that's the problem.
But they don't have to defend it with a "cease and desist" order. They
could offer a license instead. For an example of this, see:

That is hilarious!! I've never seen anything like it. I also like the
getafirstlife web page.
