Should we have trademark limits? By now, Coke should be owned by society, right? Why shouldn't we all be able to sell sugar water named "coke"?
Time to take the NEXT step in improving the value chain of intellectual property. Those types that are not scarce, are not time limited.

Actually, like Kleenex, I suspect the word coke has become generic and lost it's trademark protection. I could be wrong. Certainly, in the South, one uses Coke for any carbonated soft drink. If you order a coke in the south, you likely will get a Coca Cola, but you also might get a Pepsi.
