I am so thinking of fucking with Acacia if they start any shit in the UK. I am seriously thinking of just pissing them off a bit by issuing a legal action in the UK, which they probably wont attend, and I will win on default guilt by no show.
This wont solve the problem but could be mildly amusing. I could go for something that Acacia Research is palming thmselves off as a media company and people may mistake my legit loved company for those scum bags.
Shall I take them to court and just get one judgement against them in the UK? It is only £500 to do it, it will mostly be a waste of time but amusing none the less.

Triple check with a bona fide trademark attorney FIRST and foremost. Then, if applicable do to them what they're doing to everyone else: Retroactive restitution.
If I recall correctly trademarks are applicable to a variety of products. i.e. you can have a trademark for shirts but not computers. Yet if you did an across platform trademark application and there are no loopholes it will be interesting to see.
Yet first and foremost check with a professional trademark attorney thoroughly knowledgeable in international trademarks and copyrights.
