That is not what a trademark is for.  A trademark is a name used in marketing
a product which may not be used by your competition for marketing their version
of the product.

It's copyright law and patent law which govern copying things.  You copyright
to protect the expression of an idea, but not the idea itself.  You patent to
protect the idea.
