Are you sure? Consider that one of the common ways that trademarks become "revoked" is that a third party files to have it canceled because they are trying to register the trademark for themselves: > Petitions to cancel based on abandonment may be filed at any time. Often, a petition to cancel due to abandonment is filed because the attacked registration was cited as a basis to refuse a third-party’s later-filed application. In such a case, the Applicant may file a petition to cancel to overcome the refusal to register. If successful, the cited registration will be removed as a bar to the later-filed application.

Consider, for example, the somewhat infamous Flappy Bird trademark that was recently picked up by Gametech Holdings, LLC. That firm petitioned the USPTO to cancel the existing registration by Dong Nguyen Ha on the grounds of abandonment. He lost the trademark, and they were able to register it: https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pnam=Dong%20Nguyen%20Ha%20%20 https://ttabvue.uspto.gov/ttabvue/v?pnam=Dong%20Nguyen%20Ha%...
