Now accepting "spam arrest" as a trademark > is beyond me, as is all this trademark and patent stuff... You can use generic words in trademarks (ie: Windows). However, the fact that your mark is generic will prevent you from trying to claim infringement against someone using it in a market outside the one you've registered the mark for. You can only do that if your mark is considered unique and non-generic.
