    Yes you can, that is the definition of what a trademark is.

    Could you imagine 20 different brands of Coke on the shelf?

    The usage is specific to a market, however. For example, Delta Airlines and Delta Faucets. Both trademark “Delta.”

      So you could hava “Delta decent airlines” and “Delta fucking shit piss-stained seats threadbare aircraft $15 50ml Coke cans” then?

      Totally different market sectors.

      Yes because that’s exactly how it is in Germany. Coke isn’t a trademark. CokaCola is.
