   Besides that it probably shouldn't have been granted to begin with, how   
   would such a trademark be enforceable?   
      
   One thing is calling your record company or computer business "Apple",   
   another thing is using an adjective as trademark, even if it were not   
   common to use "organic" to describe farming or produce, I'm not so   
   convinced it'd be easy to enforce.
