Brands that have become nominal

If the brand name has become a household name, this phenomenon can have both positive sides for the company and negative ones. On the one hand, consumers are beginning to correlate the name of the company with a certain group of goods. Another aspect of such a transition from the name of a brand to the name of a particular product is that over time the brand will lose its copyright and any company that produces one type of product or another will be able to use it.

Perhaps, many people know that the word “Xerox” was originally the name of the company that produces copiers. Now we perceive it not as the name of the company, but as a designation for a group of goods. But Xerox is not the only company who managed to turn a brand into a very specific product in people’s minds.
