That actually IS a defense, though.

Companies whose products brand names are synonymous with the product regardless of the actual brand, such velcro, band aid and kleenex basically have an obligation to protect their brand.

Trademark and IP are 2 different things, you dont have to protect your IP like you do a trademark iirc. IANAL, but if i remember from business classes correctly.
