List of generic and genericized trademarks (English Wikipedia)

"Decision of the Advertising Standards Complaints Board, Complainant: Winstone Wallboards Limited; Advertisement: James Hardie Archived October 21, 2008, at the Wayback Machine", retrieved 4 April 2013. A section of the statement by the Television Commercial Approvals Bureau states: "Winstone's may be correct in claiming most people think of plaster board as gib board. But it is standard plaster board they think of as gib – not Gibraltar Specialty Boards or the entire Gibraltar Board range. Even a handyman recognizes the difference between gib board (the generic standard plaster board term) and Gibraltar Board specialty products."
