    I have no idea how it actually works, but I would guess a court ruling or something invalidating the trademark. I don’t think the USPTO would just go around stripping trademarks for funsies, but if one got challenged in court that could very well lead to a judgement like “yeah, a popsicle is just so broadly understood as this class of thing you don’t have ownership over that anymore”
