The following three lists of generic and genericized trademarks are:

  • marks which were originally legally protected trademarks, but have been genericized and have lost their legal status due to becoming generic terms,
  • marks which have been abandoned and are now generic terms
  • marks which are still legally protected as trademarks, at least in some jurisdictions

    Extracts of the adrenal gland were first obtained by Polish physiologist Napoleon Cybulski in 1895.[94] These extracts, which he called nadnerczyna (“adrenalin”), contained adrenaline and other catecholamines.[95] American ophthalmologist William H. Bates discovered adrenaline’s usage for eye surgeries prior to 20 April 1896.[96] In 1897, John Jacob Abel (1857–1938), the father of modern pharmacology, found a natural substance produced by the adrenal glands that he named epinephrine.
