From a legal perspective this would actually be worse then doing nothing. You've now recognized a mark which "might" infringe and tacitly given your approval of such a mark. In a later trademark case (with a new third party) the third party would go "look OverbearingCo you were okay with these guys!".

OverbearingCo is better off doing nothing at all, and claiming they never knew about the infringing work.
