     Pardon me if I'm wrong my understanding is very little, but if they don't have the trademark anymore can't anyone retrademark it and then it's theirs?

Usage notes

• Since the use of trademark as a verb is discouraged among practitioners of trademark law, the verb retrademark is not used in legal contexts. The preferred terminology would be to reregister a trademark or to renew a trademark.
