Band-Aid is a generecized trademark: a specific brand that has become synonymous with the type of item.
For example: Band-Aid, Jell-O, Kleenex, even Frisbee and Escalators.
I don't know if they would get in trouble seeing as the term Band-Aid, although a specific brand, encompasses bandage brands as a whole.
#Englishnerd :lol:
Actually, at least according to Wikipedia, none of those have been legally been generecized (except Escalator). Some other generecized trademarks include aspirin, cellophane, and flip phone. Jell-O for example is very protective of their tradename. In all their advertising it's always Jell-O brand Gelatin.
Johnson and Johnson letting it slide in situation like this could be used in arguments for for genericization in the future.
