  Genericized trademark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although a GI for specialty food or drink may be generic, a GI is not a trademark because it does not serve to exclusively identify a specific commercial enterprise, and therefore cannot constitute a genericized trademark.
Non-English genericized trademarks are trademarks or brand names which have become words in common usage in that language.
The German name INBUS was a trademark of the Schraubenfabrik Bauer and Schaurte, Neuss, Germany.

A generic drug is a copy that is the same as a brand-name drug in dosage, safety, strength, how it is taken, quality, performance and intended use.

 Generic name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biological nomenclature, a generic name or "the name of a genus" (sometimes "genus name") is the name of a genus.
In any scientific name to consist of more than one part, the name of the genus will be the first part.
Any generic name can also be used independently to refer to the genus.

 [No title]
The driver-name component (which matches the "name" property's value) is inherently unreliable for the purpose of precisely choosing a particular device, due to the possibility of multiple identical devices at a given level of the device tree.
Since, in the most general case, the unit address component must be used to distinguish two devices of the same type, the increased probability of name space collisions that would result from the use of generic names does not cause loss of functionality.
If a "name" property has a generic value, the search for a driver matching that generic name is likely to fail, but the next step of the search (using the "compatible" property) will succeed, finding the same driver that would have been found had the explicit name been in the "name" property.

 Drug Store News: Generics now playing pharmaceutical name game   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Generic drug makers, with their "no-name" drugs, are making their way through the trademark process for what appears to be purely practical purposes--at least for now.
Generic and branded tablets of levothyroxine may differ in the amount of levothyroxine they contain, as well as in the absorption rate and distribution of the drug throughout the body, so one generic levothyroxine may not have the same effect on the body as another generic or the branded drug.

 Fonts
Generic font families are a fallback mechanism, a means of preserving some of the style sheet author's intent in the worst case when none of the specified fonts can be selected.

Since a prime goal of the font face name in the font definition is to allow a user agent to determine when there is a local copy of the specified font data, the font face name must be a name that will be in all legitimate copies of the font data.

 Generic vs. name brand medications
Manufacturers of brand-name pharmaceuticals trying to generate profits on the drugs they invented are loathe to give over market share to cheaper generics, but insurers trying to drive costs down often push providers to prescribe and dispense generics and encourage patients to take generics through higher copays on brand-name medications.
One argument opposing generics has traditionally been that they are not a true substitute, but now it is easier to tell if that is true scientifically, Kirking said.
For example, a number of the most expensive medications are still under patent so no generics exist, and once the end of the patent draws near, clever pharmaceutical manufacturers reformulate---such as providing a 12-hour pill instead of one that works for four hours---and get a patent on the new and improved drug.
