The following three lists of generic and genericized trademarks are:

  • marks which were originally legally protected trademarks, but have been genericized and have lost their legal status due to becoming generic terms,
  • marks which have been abandoned and are now generic terms
  • marks which are still legally protected as trademarks, at least in some jurisdictions

    I’ve never heard the term “genericized trademarks”

    I’ve always heard and read it as proprietary eponyms.

      This is why I prefer open-source facial tissue. Products like xclean and tiOSSue.
