> Normal use of a word isn't something that Trademarks prevent. In general, no, but what it prevents is using the word in a way that would produce confusion with an "official" use of that mark. If the word that constitutes the mark is too general, then the trademark shouldn't have been granted. But let's assume that somebody has trademarked a common adjective, which we'll call "adjective", when applied to noun "noun".
If I write "I have an adjective noun", that's supposed to refer to the trademarked it. If it instead refers to some other item (e.g., in our case a compiler with patches), that's a trademark violatio.
