The following is an edited transcript of Chapter 15 of my book video Building a Bold Brand: Avoiding Generic Use In the last few years, more and more brands have added a generic product or category name after their brand name on packaging. The first brand to do this extensively was Kleenex®. Their packaging says “Kleenex brand tissues” to make it clear that Kleenex is not the name for all tissues and to help people avoid using the “Kleenex” name generically.

I distinctly remember purchasing the Superman/Spiderman team-up when it came out in 1981. It was an oversized comic book, with heavier than usual pages and a vibrant color scheme, and that made it perfect for laying it out on my floor as I read it cover to cover more times than I could count. Worlds collided, and it blew my mind that DC and Marvel could produce a team-up along these lines.

The Plaintiff claimed that Flipkart allowed other sellers to ‘latch on’ to the Plaintiff’s listings on the e-commerce website. What does latching on mean?
