> nobody wants to buy it, you have no case for a trademark. That's weird.
It may seem weird if you're thinking about it from the perspective of a business owner trying to protect their brand. That's why a business would want one. But it isn't why they exist. The legal basis of trademarks isn't brand or business protection, but consumer protection.
The point of a trademark is to protect consumers from being fooled or misled. If there are no consumers, then there's nobody to protect.

The other company doesn't have consumer either with this name, so why should the trademark be revoked? And if it had, shouldn't it be guilty of trademark infringement?
