They need a trademark name, but they need to create a generic name too, so that copycat manufacturers don't face the problem of "What can I call this without infringing the trademark?" If they don't, they may more easily lose their trademark. Think "nylon", "eversharp pen", "aspirin", "cellophane", and lots more one-time trademarks which became generic. It's a shame that Bob McNally didn't do that in the first place. Dave Oesterreich |

From: Jack Campin Basically the same thing already has lots of names: Turkish: cura saz Greek: baglamas Ukrainian: domra Azeri: tar Persian: setar and so on. Except anything you buy under one of those names will be better made. |
