Yeah, no judge would grand that because "common use"
You cannot register common words.
Cryptocurrency is a common word but bitcoin is a brand and an invented name. In fact, it was decided in the Cypherpunk forum.
Nope.
The word bitcoin was defined in a white paper published on 31 October 2008. It is a compound of the words bit and coin.
And since then is a common word.
Craig Wright is the malicious person you speak of:

Bitcoin.com existed (in the payments space even) before bitcoin.
