They got the british phone number prefix +44 as a trademark?

They have a playlist on Amazon Music called +44 for “the best” in British music (I beg to differ) but it seems that’s what the trademark covers[1].

No Beatles, no floyd, no spice girls.

Imagine if everytime you phone england (or added 44 to another number) you have to pay jeff for using their trademarked mathematical statement.
