You're right about legal precedence, but
if trade marks were the issue here then allowing someone to use their trade marks without a licence would lead to so-called "dilution" of their trade mark rights, making them less strong. Another party in the future could then argue that NG had aquiesced to Ubi's unlicensed use of the TMs, so everyone should also be allowed to use them without licence. So you wouldn't make legal precedence, but you would weaken your trade marks.
