Well, no.
Crock-Pot, with a hyphen, is a registered trade mark of Rival Industries, but

crock pot (lower case) nor
crockpot (one word).
Even the trademarked version with the hyphen might be difficult to defend in a courtroom, since it has become a part of the common language. That's how Bayer lost
Aspirin as a trademark, and many other trademarks have been lost the same way.
