Maybe that’s how they plan to recycle the dead kids from Battle Royale. Or they thought Sweeney Todd was actually a documentary on traditional British cuisine.

Trademarking doesn’t remove a word from the public domain, though. Copyrighting does. We still talk about those delicious things found in pies as “apples”, despite “Apple” being trademarked, we still open “windows” to let in the breeze, despite “Windows” being trademarked, and, even on a company level, you can still open a store called “McDonald’s Auto Repair”, even though “McDonald’s” is trademarked. Trademarks and copyright (and patent, for that matter) all function totally differently.

A trademark says you have exclusive right to the use of that term IN A SPECIFIC FIELD. So you can open an auto shop called “McDonald’s”, but you can’t open a restaurant called “McDonald’s”. This particular case means that you can say “high school girl” as much as you want, even make “High School Girl” brand cosmetics, but you can’t sell a food product named “High School Girl”.
