Coca-Cola is a trademark or TM, and it's not copyrighted, but it's trademark-ed. If it was copyrighted (impossible to do so), you would have to pay each time you wrote coca-cola! So that was basically why trademark was created for. I think that a TM, lasts for ever, except if you don't activelly use it. Hope I helped.
