- unwind 5y agoSame here over in Sweden, I would go so far as to say that it's gone complete genericized trademark. I would have to think in order to even come up with the proper generic name for Tipp-Ex (i.e. something like "correction fluid"), and it feels like nobody would understand me. Disclosure: I don't use correction fluid, although I remember owning a bottle of Tipp-Ex sometime in the 90s when handling printed paper was more common for me.
