A few years ago I tried to register a domain name which included the word "purple". I was told I couldn't because HP had trademarked the word "purple" so it was off the list of registerable words. I pointed out that my domain was in no way related to their purple laptops and I was told tough, no-one could for any reason register any domain which included the word "purple" because HP now owned the dictionary word "purple".
Bullshit. They just don't want to deal with the lawsuit even though HP would be 100% in the wrong. But we don't have a justice system, just a legal system. If you got enough money you can make nearly anything the law.
