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

    What about adrenalin?

      Apparently, whoever added this was an awful devil who decided that adding false information with sources that only sourced the history and usage of the term was a good idea.

      The trademark is adrenalin, not adrenaline, and owned by Endo, not Pfizer. I have edited the title and am editing the article as we type. Apparently there’s someone who posted to the talk page about this back in may but didn’t get noticed.

      This was changed on 4 May 2023 by someone who thought he was correcting a typo.

        I think I just had a glitch in the matrix moment I swear to God I opened this thread and the title said Pfizer, bug after I read your comment I scrolled up and it said Endo International.

          It updates in real time with edits and additions, same with comment replies and stuff that come in while you are looking at a thread.

          I don’t think most people know about that feature of Lemmy and the mobile clients (honestly dunno about web clients), but when you are chronically online you see things update in real time quite a bit. It’s super cool :)
