Is bitcoin a technology or is Bitcoin(with a capital B) a specific brand??

If common(seems like what satoshi suggested) why aren't plural bitcoins?

If proper, which clients can claim it? Is it spammable/sybil attacked? Can a marketing campaign hijack the name? How to detect if it happened in the past? (changing a small b to capital B is a common edit on this site mostly done in latter half of bitcoin's existence)
