The answer is no because bitcoin and penney are common words now.  Also, a trademark can be invalid even if it was issued a while back.  If the term becomes common, anyone in dispute could file a petition to cancel that trademark.

"International" is a common word. "Business" is a common word. "Machines" is a common word. Try starting a computer company called "International Business Machines," and see how that works out for you. Wink

That is invalid argument.  There are classes of trademarks called “famous” IBM is one of them.  You don’t have a famous trademark here. IBM, Coke, xerox, MasterCard, visa etc etc.. are examples of famous trademarks.
