Isn't the bigger issue that they haven't been actively enforcing the trademark since at least 2020? You have to enforce trademarks otherwise they lapse.


You can look at the trademark's registration in the USPTO site that was linked[1]. See the "Documents" tab. This one was first issued in ~2018, so would not need renewal until 2028.

You don't generally need to sue every infringer in order to keep your trademark. My understanding is it can vary by court and it gets a bit legally complex, and the final decision will depend on various factors (eg: [2]).
