If you don&#39;t write &#34;Kleenex facial tissues&#34; &amp; just write &#34;hand me a kleenex,&#34; eventially judges will rule that they can&#39;t enforce your trademark. Except nobody speaks like that, so it would be stilted to write that way. Same with &#34;xerox&#34; &amp; down south they say &#34;coke&#34; in a generic way. &#34;What kind of coke do you want? Sprite or Pepsi or Dr. Pepper?&#34; 2026-02-14T01:49:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsq2d4y8fkn24e8ce6zv392p2lqrflg33r90m3gxs5nlmy2mmplpwczyr27rspzcmfgsj2n2ff6v5qh6x83wr3746hlz5aa26r2ltm8pfxnq9mzx99 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs92k70mxymgmt9yelt4s569yvv2yvfmafgdnaj02xjtawyvq70eqsmv7lcl'>nevent1q…7lcl</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Pegasus &amp; Dracula &amp; Kleenex all suffered from being turned into generic terms. 2026-02-14T00:15:15Z
