I will repeat myself, but there should be a penalty for such bogus trademark claims, best as % of the global revenue. Then, maybe, they would learn that a corporation cannot bully others only because it has unlimited legal resources.

There is a penalty! If someone else were using it first, they could sue Apple, and that is in fact exactly what happened.
