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’m more surprised by Dremel, Styrofoam, Freon, and Onesies on the list! I had no clue they were all trademarked.

        It’s still a protected trademark, just that people have called everything a dremel
