After the engineers complained that there would be a massive
editing effort to modify *comments*, the lawyers of Company A
and Company B got together, studied the law, and concluded
that, to comply with the law, Company A must perforce modify
all documents, including non-disclosed proprietary trade
secret source, even in comments, so that the now trademarked
term did not appear anywhere.

The engineers gritted their teeth, and did a massive search
and edit to modify the source.
    

This sounds like you had really bad lawyers (shades of gray I know) that
acceded to the request of the other company.  Probably as a quick way to
just settle the complaint.  In other words it would have cost more to
defend against the complaint than it cost to give in.  :)
