One of many...
There are quite a few firms who go spare at the sight of their product name being used as a generic name for whatever-it-is. Nobody wants to end up like Hoover, with a globally recognised brand that you can no longer claim exclusive use of.
Now that I know that every time I refer to any sort of container as "Tupperware" one of their lawyers dies screaming, I shall do so more often.
