Well, yes, she has to defend any trademarks that are hers. But what trademarks are those? A quick check in the books indicates that all and any trademarks involved are the property of Warner Bros., not of J. K. Rowling.
The case includes a claim of federal trademark infringement (including colorable imitations!) -- though without identifying just what trademarks are involved -- but any damage mentioned in this context is to Warner Bros.
So Rowling has other fish to fry than trademarks.
