Yeah, isn't there a legal thing where like if a name becomes part of
common vocabulary, then you lose the trademark? I remember a long time
ago reading that Photoshop was trying to get people to say they
"digitally enhanced this image with Adobe PhotoshopTM" instead of saying
"i photoshopped it" like a normal person.
Very seldom happens if you keep defending the trademark. I'm not sure how
Bayer lost 'Aspirin' but that was about 100 years ago and the laws may
have changed.
