Apple also lawyered the 'Apple' trademark away from Apple Corps, who existed before Apple and is now licensing it _from_ Apple.

On the other side, Apple got sued over Rendezvous (their Zeroconf impl), and ended up having to rename it to Bonjour. Not even Apple's immune to being lawyered.



If by "lawyered away" you mean decades of having multi-million dollar trademark infringement judgments levied against Apple Computer before they capitulated and purchased the trademark from Apple Corps for an estimated half billion dollars, then yes... I guess they did lawyer away the trademark.
