Trademark owner should defend trademarks.

Trademark owners have to defend their trademarks, or risk losing them.

Should have worded it better. That's what I meant. I don't know how relevant it is. Suppose Oatmeal Studios sue some fictional "Oatmeal Cards" and "Oatmeal Cards" argue that they didn't defend their trademark as they didn't go after The Oatmeal. Can't Oatmeal Studios claim they weren't aware about The Oatmeal's existence?
