kqcrna said:The WORD organic is trademarked?

Dictionary.com says "Origin:
1350–1400; Middle English: pertaining to an organ of the body < Latin organicus by or employing a mechanical device, instrumental < Greek organikós equivalent to órgan(on) organ + -ikos -ic"

Can you really trademark a word that originated in 1350?

This.

If you use lower case instead of upper case, is it still trademarked?
