It's not fair and it's often illogical and even ilegal-legal b ut ok for them to do it! 

If you think life is fair then I'm very angry with you lol!

" OUT THE DOOR WITH YOU! "

ok come back here's some info instead...

Below helps show the unfairness a bit more (call it a bit of relaxed finger-pointing to a few American companys)

1/ who trade-marked the term Bake-Off

2/ Use of the word "Mc" before the word "coffee" (even though McDonald's didn't have any cofee -related thing for a long time and someone else used it first!... like for a decade or more because her 2nd name started with Mc!!
So McD's adds McCafe later and sues someone else for something similar they had before!)...
McFU!

Video about it (short) and maybe I missed all of the details in reality but sure helps point fingers and feel good about it!

and a comment there says:

" I've always hated American trademark law. An example that's similar to this ridiculous Pillsbury one is of a place that used to be called "McCoffee". It was -- you guessed it -- a coffee shop (cafe). The woman who owned it named the shop as a homophone of her own name, McCaughey. After being in business for 17 years, she was sued by McDonald's because of her use of "Mc" before the word "coffee". McDonalds had no "McCoffee" product, but they decided to create a "McCafe" product, so they apparently felt justified in shutting down anyone/anything that was even remotely similar, regardless of the space that person/product was in. McCaughey didn't use the famous arches in her logo, and she didn't sell fast food. But the corporate slimebags just had to ** up her business.

This is one of countless examples where corporate lawyers justify their existence based on laws that fly in the face of common sense. No human being with working brain cells would've seen her small cafe and thought, "Oh, I must be able to get a McDonald's McCafe here!" It's just corporate America blinded by irrational greed. "
