Boeing has a similar sensitivity about the Jumbo and the bulge (gallery?) on top at the front is a legally protected design feature. I think someone produced a PSS version a few years ago and got into a similar fight.
I believe that these companies try to protect their trademarks in what seems to be a paranoid way because the law punishes them if they do not. Consider: Nylon used to be a trademark owned by DuPont but they failed to control its use diligently, in the eyes of the law. Now hardly anyone realizes than Nylon is/was a trademark and anyone can market a fiber as Nylon. Aspirin was Bayer's trademark. In Bayer's case it was "liberated", because they were German and they lost, but now anyone can market Aspirin. The point is that these companies lost many millions because they lost control of their property, and that's their motivation. One strategy _may_ be to make sure that all references to trade marks only appear on non-searchable items, like graphics, in your website and then, when confronted, back down.
