Is this even true or just a myth? From what I know, law doesn’t actually mandate people to be jerkasses. Also at least in sane countries, you can’t trademark words that are in the dictionary like “hoard” or “hoarder”, since by definition they have prior art.
Legally required to. If you don’t protect your trademark, you lose it.

Good try, but I don’t read MBA hallucinations or AI slop.
Well, Google is free, you can find the information if you like.
Nah, I chose DDG and got a better result, but thanks!
Rebuttal, it’s called “hoarder”
And apple is called Apple.
I didn’t say the law is good.
The company trying to enforce the trademark is not called hoarder nor do they have any apps called hoarder.
Oh good! Then they have no case and will lose.
They did not lose. The maintainer of Hoarder had to rebrand to KaraKeep, hence this post.
They didn’t son win either, the dispute is ongoing.
Then they had a case
I thought you said they didn’t?
If they had no case they lost. If they have a case, they win.
It’s a truism.
