You have a very narrow definition of research. In the biotech sector for example, industry is buying into (or spinning out from) academic research more and more, and this is something that a lot of academics resent.
Molds aren't bacteria. They're fungi. Being eukaryotes, they're more closely related to us than to bacteria (and much more closely related to some of us than others...).
It's interesting to reflect that Sinclair BASIC pre-dated all the modern context-sensitive IDEs that predict what you're going to type and fill it in for you. Having a command and a function mapped onto each letter key made typing code in remarkably fast.
If you preferred one of those second-rate home computers where typing PRINT would necessitate typing P-R-I-N-T, well... You lose.

And here was I thinking that America considered the IRA the good guys...
Anyway, the OED first lists the term being used in 1917 by Greenhill Press, so they would hold the trademark if anyone.
Trademarks don't work like that, they're not automatic like copyrights.
How can you trademark a single dictionary word? I can understand if it's a phrase, but a single dictionary word?
Apple? Orange? Windows? Borders? Starbucks (young male rabbits IIRC)? Happens all the time.
I once entered myself into a hot pepper
Maybe it's because of the article subject matter, but I read that as I once entered a hot pepper into myself for a moment. Ouch.
It had six legs...

Whoops, yeah, my bad. YKWIM though.
I don't recall Timothy McVeigh or the Birmingham Six being vegetarians.
