I case i can think of is when Coca Cola company put a patent on the word Cola, and sued Pepsi for calling themselves Pepsi Cola.

Patent was issued, but in the courts, the judge said f*** off Coke, its just a work.
I think you're confusing Copyright with Patents. A patent cannot be for a word, since it is for an invention or idea, but a word can be copyrighted.
