You are thinking of trademarks. Copyrights and patents don't work that way. Also, if you fail to prosecute infringement which you know is occuring for a number of years (usually four), a defendant can use that as a defence, but that doesn't mean you lose the copyright or patent or that you can't successfully sue other people.
