Well... Apple may come after your pie shop. You'll likely win if you have the resources to fight it.

Monster Cable, they fight anyone who uses the word "monster" including mini golf places

Tldr, monster Cable is ran by shit humans who like to litigate.

I'd like to see them fight each other in court. I think that would be interesting.

Your trademark is protected only in the field you're in, but if you're a widely known brand, and can prove it, you usually have some special protection, allowing you to prevent others from using it in all fields.
