Apple
Apple and most of these companies have used legal teams to beat competitors into submission. In the old Apple days there was Red Apple or Big Red Apple in the midwest which sold disks with free utilities and other software for the Apple II and //e. As I understand it Apple made them stop using the name because it had the word "Apple" in it. And this was a company which indirectly helped sell Apple computers by making interesting software available that made Apple's computers more fun and useful.
