You can use generic words in trademarks (ie: Windows). However, the fact
that your mark is generic will prevent you from trying to claim
infringement against someone using it in a market outside the one you've
registered the mark for. You can only do that if your mark is considered
unique and non-generic.
thanks for the explanation, Matt!
