It may be worth noting, or not, that they did get sued. Sometimes
lawyers will advise to sue to establish a precedent of defending their
trade mark. Undefended trade marks become harder to defend and risk
becoming public domain.
Just my non-professional understanding and I could be wrong.
It may be worth considering how willing you would be to defend the name
if sued. Personally I think you should be fine but what do I know.
