That is right, "spam", not "SPAM".  They have a legal need to protect
their trademark or they will lose their own legal status to it.

I think they are actually benefiting from the increased awareness of
SPAM the food.  They have been friendly.  But if push came to shove
then I suspect they would need to become more agressive at protecting
their trademark.  It is their revenue source.  What would you do in
their place?
