That part of IP law is actually sane. Instead of perpetual monopoly over something the "owner" doesn't even care about. Names (i.e. trademarks) will go back into the pool when they are no longer used/valued/desired by "owner". The cost and requirements of "maintenance" also stops trivial, speculative, or trollish trademarks.
Copyright use to have similar sense (must apply, must renew).
