/ʤɪˈnɛrɪknəs/ – Noun
Definition: tính chất của loại.
A more thorough explanation: “Genericness” refers to the quality or state of being generic, which means lacking distinctiveness or individuality, and being common or widespread. In legal terms, genericness is often used in the context of trademarks to describe a mark that has become so commonly used that it no longer serves as an indicator of the source of goods or services. This can lead to the loss of trademark protection for the mark.
Example: The court found that the trademark lacked distinctiveness due to its genericness, making it ineligible for protection under trademark law.
