This shows how ridiculous it is to allow trademarks on words or phrases in common use. The phrase "bat out of hell" was used long before Meat Loaf or anybody else applied for a trademark.

Trademark offices in any country should not give rights to common words or phrases.

Wait I've just had an idea. I will trademark "Hi", "Good morning", "Bye", etc and charge everybody who wants to use them 10c every time!!
