(...) It's a legal issue. Trademarks are only valid if you defend them. And the only way to properly use a trademark is as an adjective. That's why you see things like "Kleenex(R) Brand Facial Tissues" instead of just "Kleenexes" in Kimberly-Clark's (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jul-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) The 4th of July sale (still running as of yesterday) at the MOA LIC has all the same deals so this is probably all of the US stores. Pickings are getting slim though. Happy bargain hunting, John #388 (21 years ago, 9-Jul-03, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Personally, I never understood Lego's big fuss over the use of the term "Legos" for their products. (Or any Lego fan's big fuss, for that matter).
