I do not have much experience, with app/extension regulation of course, but I can imagine how it can get extremely difficult. Especially when you have so many users and developers.
Even Apple's $99 fee does not prevent a ton of shady apps.

Huh, never heard of this. Do you have any links/readings about that?
Another story I don't have an easily accessible news link for: A chinese game studio launched US and Japanese versions of their title, and their original Japanese business partner registered the trademark themselves and tried to extort them with it. In the end they found a new partner and renamed the title (so it has a unique Japan-only name separate from the name used in other regions)
Interesting, thanks for sharing. I saw a tweet the other day about tricks to get around an app having the same name. Seems to be a somewhat common struggle.
