Trademark Usage Guidelines
Proper use of the Trademarks reinforces their role as brands and helps prevent them from becoming generic names that can be used by anyone.
Trademarks are not nouns and may not be used as a generic term. Trademarks are adjectives used to modify nouns;
the noun is the generic name of a product or service. The first time it appears, and as is reasonable after that, the Trademark should be followed by the common generic (the dictionary name) term of the product.
