No, imagine if that was what a trademark allowed you to do, to disallow usage of that word altogether. Apple would be able to force shops everywhere to pay them or stop advertising the sale of Apples. Everytime anyone sat down to write a review of a product in Word they would first need Microsoft to negotiate a deal with the company in order for them to support the product names.
