What does having invented a term have to do with this?
The Otis company invented the term escalator, and even had a trademark on it for a while, but does it mean that you'd only call one an escalator if it was made by them?
- collingreen 2y agoThat's literally what the trademark means. At some point things become so dominant and generic a trademark is no longer successfully enforceable and you get escalators, bandaids, linoleum, taser, gasoline, etc.
