Trademarks cover identity and brand. It hopes to prevent "brand dilution" (some sort of passive libel, might we say?), thus making trust-based business difficult; it does this by granting infinite namespaced monopoly on symbols and marks.
As a consumer, I want trademark laws are enforced rigorously. I don't want fake goods of inferior quality that can be even endanger my well-being.
Or does anybody want to buy cheap climbing gear from china with Petzl on it?
