> I don't think that "coke" on its own can be trademarked because it's an actual common word (a form of coal). That wouldn’t be relevant unless you were actually talking about the form of coal. Although many people say in shorthand that "[word] is trademarked.", trademarks are not “on a word” they’re on a particular use of a word. “coke” when referring to a beverage is mostly not a generic word. (Except maybe in the southern US :) ) For example "Apple" is trademarked in reference to computer hardware/software, etc. It isn't in reference to the fruit. |
