Common names can't be trademarked, that's why MS' "windows" mark was denied.
But, if you create artwork of the word "windows" then you can trademark the artwork. Can't register "cat" but if you made the word cat look like a cat, you could register that.
Also, just because you have a registered trademeark doesn't mean it's enforceable.
