The colour purple is trademarked, for chocolate. That just means you can't use Cadbury purple as the color for your chocolate wrappers. You can still use it for anything else. You can't make a game called Cyberpunk but you can use it for anything else.

Totally different. Purple has nothing to do with chocolate, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a cyberpunk game. It's named after the category it is part of.
