I used to work for a law firm as a programmer/analyst, after that DMCA and changes to patent and copyright laws, it is easy to just sue a small company until their court costs and attorney fees exceed their income and they have to settle out of court or reach an out of court settlement.
Disney and other companies like DC and Marvel wanted the Trademark law to keep getting modified so they still owned the rights to their characters and they would not go into public domain as our founding fathers wanted.
Yeah, this is legal bullying, sort of like taking the competitor and roll them in a rug and start beating them with bats until they give up.
