On a pragmatic side, this https://element.io/blog/the-world-is-changing/ 
has the following section:

"""Firstly, the biggest by far has been from a certain large games

Riot or even Riot.im - which has been a huge issue when it comes to 
defending users against abusive forks of the app."""

Trademarks.
