(...) 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)
