I could understand if it was "AppStore" in one word or something to that effect. "App Store" on the other hand is definitely a generic term. "Application" has been shortened to app for a long time and it is very generic. And I'm not sure how much more generic you could possibly make the word "store". Even the "noun store" combination is extremely common and basic, (e.g. computer store, grocery store).

The noun windows is also fairly generic. The noun apple is also fairly generic. And yet there are trademarks for these.

  Actually, there are several trademarks for "apple", and it resulted in several lawsuits.

    Actually I knew that but the point here is whether generic things can be trademarked, trademarking them multiple times in different areas which then converge is not all that relevant.
