Of course Anthropic has the most obnoxious legal team of all the ai companies. The project got traction under the older name. A name change does hurt the project.

It's not about obnoxiousness or morality.
They HAVE to defend their trademark or they'll lose it by default.
The law pretty much goes "if you don't care about it, you don't need it anymore".
I don't think it's obnoxious to protect your trademark against a literal homophone operating in the same space as you. I'm confident a lot of people heard about "clawdbot" and assumed it was an anthropic product.
