Ninja vs Penguin: Trademarks are not verbs

  • Jeff · 2 years ago
    Wow... pretty foolish on the part of Adobe. It's probably someone in legal that wrote that up, ignoring of course the immense marketing benefits of people going around saying "I photoshopped it."

    I mean Google gets it. "How'd you find it?" "Oh I just googled it."

    When your product becomes a common-use verb, isn't that the height of brand recognition?

    Hi Jeff,

    Yah, Xerox, Bandaid, Kleenex are all pretty common. When we could be saying photocopy, bandage, or tissue...

    I think it's more funny than anything else. I don't really care, + I'm still going to use Photoshop as a verb! Haha!
