Proposal:
Remove single common word trademarks, no one has a right to constraint general language usage like that.
Even if we look at the law being able to do single common word trademarks where meant to be very restrictive like Apple "for computer hardware" but not Apple for selling literal Apples. The only problem is this laws never fully considered companies with massive horizontal expansion (e.g. computer hardware + OS + phone + App Store + Music lable + TV setup box + movie streaming + payment provider).
