Is this word created by this magazine?
Even so, hasn't it been diluted?

The word has a generic meaning. It is hard to protect a trademark like this
because you cannot exclude others from using it in a generic way, such as
using it in "an entrepreneur meeting". I even don't think that they can stop
you using it if you start a magazine titled ****, and having a subtitle "A
magazine for entrepreneurs". I suggest that we should not use a trademark
like this, because it will cost a lot of money to maintain the trademark.
