“Switch” is trademarked?

Trademarked Term [ ? ]

Due to trademark reasons, we do not allow advertisers to use ’switch’
in their Google AdWords ads. This term may be trademarked either for a
certain product or service category and may apply only in certain
countries.

This is new to me. Such a common word trademarked? So now we have to turn on  instead of switch on the light.

Very soon we might have Walk, Talk, Eat, Sleep trademarked.
