Usually we hear about big corporations telling the "little guy" to cease and desist because of an alleged trademark infringement. As the saying goes, turnabout is fair play. But can they lay claim to all possible variants of "capture" in their slogan?

General Electric will likely get a cease and desist letter from a Moorhead [Minnesota] Public Service Commission attorney requesting that the corporate giant stop using the phrase “Capturing the Wind.”
“Capture the Wind” is the trademarked name of Moorhead’s wind energy program, Public Service Commission General Manager Bill Schwandt said. He believes GE is infringing on the commission’s trademark of the phrase.
