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.

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.
