Doesn't that lead to a very simple DOS on your competitors? Just register a trademarked entity in another market.

Google Soap. Parler French School. Stripe Flags. Square Foods. etc.

Trademark offices make it hard to register similar trademarks.

However, what you described is not a conflict search “Windows” and you get www.microsoft.com etc, but search “Storm Windows” and no search engine is going to show you www.microsoft.com/... as the top entry.

It is however a reason not to choose single word trademarks.
