Please..."Windows" was trademarked and that is a much more generic term than "App Store". Reality plays no part in this.

      App store is trying to be trademarked by a company that has an App Store?

  You're confused here. Trademarks dont' apply globally like patents or copyrights, they only apply within contexts where there is likely to be consumer confusion. Microsoft can have "Windows" brand operating systems. I could create a chain of "Windows" restaurants. A company that sells windows absolutely could not create a "Windows" trademark and expect it to have any legal force.
