You can lose rights to your IP if you don’t take steps to enforce it.

This is oft repeated but it's not true. Copyrights do not get revoked if you don't enforce your exclusivity. Trademarks can be genericised but only in extreme cases (band-aid is NOT genericised for example).

Nintendo is hyper litigious but not for any legal requirement to defend their copyrights.
