There are so many example of trademark abuse...
Like Monster Energy SLAPPing anyone who uses the word Monster [0: search for 'monster energy sues', there's too many to pick a single one].
Or King trying to SLAPP The Banner Saga for using the word Saga [1].
Or Bethesda SLAPPing Mojang for "Scrolls" [2].
I'm probably missing a ton more of these, but to be fair, it is quite easy to mistake these with copyrights issues, because it's usually the same companies that abuse that system as well.

I'm not certain if these are SLAPP, but I do like the sound of the acronym. [https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/slapp_suit]
