Yeah, just like no-one can own the term "apple"!!! Or "windows"!!!

Trade marks fall into classes (both in the USA and in the uncivilised wasteland outside those borders!) so if I want to trade mark "marketing" for my new range of badger polishing accessories this is unlikely to be a problem...
Totally disagree with this point.

Marketing, can & should not be able to be trademarked for marketing, on the other hand, if someone calls their dog canal marketing, then it could be marketed for that purpose.

Apple is TradeMarked for Computers not fruit, and Windows is TradeMarked for computer OS, not "Windows".
