Facebook sued and won companies that had "book" in their name.

Why didn't Apple/FaceTime sue Facebook for using "Face" in their name? (The FaceTime franchise dates back to 1997, way before Facebook).

Why is "face" generic, but "book" is not?

I recall their being other social media sites with "face" in their name before facebook, but can't remember the names.

I think its clear the IP system favours the party who can throw the most money around.
