Trademarks are very different from patents. They are the one form of IP that basically everyone should be okay with. Unlike copyright and patents, they are more about consumer protection than about control.
It absolutely is an important distinction when you're saying "stuff like this happens a lot" with reference to patent-trolling, but there's no such thing as "Trademark-trolling"
