Unfortunately, it's not a convenient bad-guy narrative. It's the way the US legal system is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark#Maintaining_rights

" In the case of a trademark registration, failure to actively use the mark in the lawful course of trade, or to enforce the registration in the event of infringement, may also expose the registration itself to become liable for an application for the removal from the register after a certain period of time on the grounds of "non-use". It is not necessary for a trademark owner to take enforcement action against all infringement if it can be shown that the owner perceived the infringement to be minor and inconsequential... The owner can always reserve the right to take legal action until a court decides that the third party had gained notoriety which the owner 'must' have been aware of."

This has been discussed to death, and you're wrong.

  • The issue at stake here is copyright, not trademark, so there is no legal requirement to defend.

  • Even if the first point is wrong and they did need to take action, issuing fan sites with permission to use their IP in ways that don't compete with the actual game is an option that is always open to them.

Copyright applies here much more than trademark does, and copyright doesn't have the same non-defense clauses.

This isn't a trademark issue (apart from potential misuse of the Netrunner logo), and copyright has no such limitations.

trademark ≠ copyright.

From wiki: "The rights of the copyright holder also permit him/her to not use or exploit their copyright, for some or all of the term."

I don't think the trademarks (Netrunner, Android, FFG, and logo usage etc.) were at issue here.
