I somewhat wonder what the importance of such things are, when the
Olympics themselves have become hyper-proprietary in nature.

I'm somewhat surprised that the IOC hasn't lodged infringement suits
against such infringing folks as every resident of certain parts of
Washington State.  Note this germaine lawsuit

which I'm quite surprised they *lost.*
