Definition of genericism
Definition: Genericism (jə-nər-ə-siz-əm) is the state or condition of being generic.
Example: In a trademark lawsuit, a company may use an affirmative defense of genericism to argue that their product name has become a common term used to describe a type of product, and therefore cannot be exclusively owned by one company.
Explanation: The example illustrates how a company can use the defense of genericism to argue that their product name has become a common term used to describe a type of product. This means that the name has lost its distinctiveness and cannot be exclusively owned by one company.
If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.

Simple Definition
Term: GENERICISM
Definition: Genericism means being generic. It is a state or condition of being common or not unique. For example, if a product is so common that people use its name to refer to all similar products, it has become a victim of genericism. This can happen to trademarks, where the brand name becomes so popular that people use it to refer to all similar products, regardless of the brand.
