You can lose trademarks if you knowingly don't defend them but it's pretty hard to lose a patent. Even it gets added to a standard you participate it just goes into FRAND.

I think I got the two mixed up then. Regardless (I'm probably preaching to the choir), this seems like a ridiculous lawsuit and I hope they get sent packing.

I'm not a big fan of these patents having been awarded and patent law needs serious overhaul. That said I think there is a good chance the lawsuit is successful. Three are a lot of patents in 3D printing that the open source community is just waiting for them to expire.
