Agreed, but if we look at the broad picture.. I mean who does not use those words...I guess they could be IF a demonym forms part of a brand. Like lets say there was a Football team called "Amerians" I would imagine they could TM against someone else in the Football industry using the same name..
Thats my understanding... I could be wrong, I'm no lawyer

Is the trademark in these examples refer to the complete org name e.g. American Cheese/ American airlines or just the "American" word... If yes ,does this mean American.com/ net/ org can't be sold by any domainer for commercial purpose... Apple is a difference I agree.. Kindly advise... ThanksSo what. Who doesn't refer to a particular fruit grown on trees as an "apple"?
But if you apply that word to computers and smartphones, you are going to have an obvious problem.
