How to Prevent a Trademark from Becoming Generic - infobrokerworld.com Podcast

A trademark is one of the most powerful tools a business owns,
serving as a symbol of trust and authenticity. But even the
strongest trademarks can lose their legal protection if they become
generic—a process known as genericide. Iconic names like Aspirin or
Xerox show how misuse can turn a once-protected brand into a common
product term.

In this episode, we explore practical strategies to prevent
genericide and preserve long-term trademark strength:

Why continuous, genuine use and timely legal filings are
essential.
The importance of monitoring marketplaces, registries, and social
media for misuse.
Educating consumers and media on correct trademark usage, including
adding symbols and pairing trademarks with generic terms.
How swift enforcement through cease-and-desist letters or legal
action protects rights.
The role of AI-driven monitoring tools and human expertise in
proactive brand protection.

For brand managers, legal professionals, and executives, this
episode provides the knowledge needed to keep trademarks strong,
distinctive, and valuable in today’s global marketplace.
