I wonder how anyone with an escrow trademark would be able to enforce the term "escrow" not being used by anyone not part of their company, given that it is a generic word.
Much like when Microsoft tried to trademark the word "windows". Flipping idiots.

Well, this is not about a trademark, but about jurisdictions with special regulations for escrow providers.
