They own it, sure, but they license it out freely. They've released their work under a license that allows anyone use of their trademark, as long as they stick by the AGPLv3. The AGPLv3 is written permission.

Can you point me at the part of this document where 3rd parties are allowed to use your trademark?

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/blob/main/LICENS...

I think what Signal is objecting to is that the snap looked like it was packaged and distributed by Signal when the files included could have been modified with a backdoor or whatever.
