Can I go and submit an app under the name of every existing company name I can think of, just like domain parking?

The price is pretty ridiculous too. I would have bought it simply for the novelty if it wasn't $10.
I believe that's part of their magic trick. I don't think as many people would rush to think it's the official MS Word if it cost only $1. The price, app size, screenshots. Everything is misleading, except the one thing most people don't even look at, which is the text description.
unless they changed it before now, the text specifically reads that its a tutorial app, and has tips, not pretending to be a full Word client... mind you, how many people bought it not reading the text fully? how many dident look at the screen shot? And if that was a lot of people, i am releasing a Microsoft Excel and Outlook app for the iPhone/iPad later on... free money from what i can only imagine are people with…
So when Microsoft wants to submit the "real" 'Microsoft Word 2012' to the app store, how does Apple handle the name conflict? Can I go and submit an app under the name of every existing company name I can think of, just like domain parking?

I'm willing to bet a fair number didn't read it. Given one of the reviews: > Very Stupid App!!!! This is just a waste of money. Don't buy this app because you cannot even write a document!!!!!! But that's about par for the course. The dissatisfied ones are always the loudest. I do highly doubt they had permission to use the Microsoft trademark in that way though.
> I'm willing to bet a fair number didn't read it. Why would I? I'd personally have assumed that no Apple reviewer would ever permit a developer named "Super Racing Real Games" to use the Microsoft Word logo and name for an app. They're supposed to be there to protect against this sort of stuff, so I can't blame folks for not reading too closely.

1. Developer submits app named "Tips for Microsoft Word". 2. App is approved. 3. Developer changes app name to "Microsoft Word 2012". 4. Profit?

Are developers able to change the name of their app after it is approved and published in the app store? Because, if so, there might be a reasonable explanation for this mistake: 1. Developer submits app named "Tips for Microsoft Word". 2. App is approved. 3. Developer changes app name to "Microsoft Word 2012". 4. Profit?
