:::::General Motors for example, owns the trademark to Chevrolet, Chevy, GMC, and even "Jimmy.' Coca-Cola owns the trademark to "Coke." These companies guard their trademark and advertising investment jealously (Remember how Howard Johnson refused to sell you a "coke" until you specifically asked for a Howard Johnson Cola). The owner and inventor of the mechanical staircase refused to trademark his invention, thinking his contribution to humanity - the Escalator - would become a household word. Otis Elevator, a company 10 times Escalator's size, soon started manufacturing its own 'Escalator' and pit the Escalator company out of business.

:::Here's my theory: this occurred before the 1980 Chicago Tylenol-cyanide scare and the 1984 [https://www.upi.com/Archives/1984/07/24/Workmen-today-dismantled-McDonalds-trademark-Golden-Arches-at-the/5236459489600/ San Ysidro McDonald's massacre]. In the later two events, Tylenol and McDonald's took immediate steps to protect their name brand, probably based on the experience of Kool-Aid. This has been often discussed in marketing and advertising publications and business schools since. Even journalism has been affected. When similar events have occurred in recent decades, new organizations are careful not to offend sponsors or potential advertisers by citing name brands in horrific stories, kinda the same way they don't identify the race of a person in a horrific crime.

:::IOW, a company spends millions to build up public trust in a namebrand, and has it wiped out in a moment by a single nutcase and a sensationalizing media trying scoop headlines, even when the headlines destroy one of their own sponsors.
