– From the August 2015 issue – Trademark erosion may not impact the environment, but marketers have noted the lexicographical slide of some brand names into generic labels. Kleenex, Band-Aid, Xerox, and Zamboni (yes, other companies make ice-resurfacing equipment) all underwent the transformation, and Honda’s VTEC, or Variable Timing and lift Electronic Control, teeters on the edge of name interchangeability with other variable-valve-timing systems—including some of its own variations on
