I agree, there are some more examples like IBM and BP. The capitalization of the _name_ should be like it is used (and likely registered). I also agree with Frederik though, if we feel the orthography of their name is particularly designed to game lists or maps, like “the BEST foo” we can individually make exceptions and must not slavishly adhere to their marketing.
