Termos as trademark
The word "thermos" is a generic trademark used as a name for vacuum tubes. From about 1910 to 1922, Thermos strives for this synonym, as it is considered free advertising; the value of the ad was estimated, in 1917, between $ 3 and $ 4 million in US dollars alone. As companies and the vacuum flask market grew, it became increasingly protective of its trademark, registered in 1923, following the narrow victory of a lawsuit over the liquor company W. T. Grant Company. Beginning in 1935, Thermos used a clipping service to find unauthorized use and protested against a dictionary editor that included "thermos". The internal memo of 1940 says the definition "will no doubt be quoted against us in a lawsuit to defend the trademark." The best we can do is try to 'purify' the definition of the word. " By the 1950s, Thermos continued its efforts to protect it, creating products (tents, lanterns, tent tents) inscribed with names to confirm it as a brand name, not an item.
In 1958, Aladdin Industries announced its intention to sell "thermos bottles", and Thermos sued for the offense. In 1962, Judge Robert Anderson ruled that "thermos" was a generic term, largely because of Thermos's own publication and lack of persistence in defending trademarks. Aladdin (or any company) may mark the bottle with a small letter "thermos", while Thermos, later called The King-Seeley Thermos Company, retains capitalization.

History
Created in 1892 by Sir James Dewar, a scientist at Oxford University, "vacuum tubes" were not produced for commercial use until 1904, when two German glass blowers, Reinhold Burger and Albert Aschenbrenner , form Thermos GmbH. They held a contest to name "vacuum tubes" and Munich residents sent "Thermos," which comes from the Greek word therme, meaning "hot."
This thermos is commonly called a bottle of Dewar among chemists in recognition of its discoverer, James Dewar. Dewar did not register a patent for his invention and then patented by Thermos, to whom Dewar lost a court case in claiming the rights to this discovery.
Connecticut
The Norwich, Connecticut residents are looking for the Termos Company to build and operate the factory on the banks of the River Thames. A group of citizens under the group "Norwich Boomers" mobilized the community to buy 27 acres of land for $ 750 per acre so that it could be used for Thermos. Dr. William H. Mason also exists on the property, and that's also part of the purchase. The Italian house was converted for use as an office building. Together, residents and cities collect $ 78,000. A contract signed on February 14, 1912, will make Norwich the home of the Termos Factory and that Thermos will use the name Norwich on its ad. Allyn L. Brown acts as a lawyer and advises on the deal. The thermos products produced in Norwich are labeled "Made in Norwich."
The plant's construction is a boon to Norwich, who is helping with jobs in the area after the decline of the textile industry. The operation was extended to nearby Taftville, Connecticut and together the active plants until they were removed and closed in 1988. The Norwich site was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
Expansion
In 1955, The American Thermos Bottle Company acquired Hemp and Company, Inc. from Macomb, Illinois, producer of "Little Brown Jug" and other jugs and isolated crates and outdoor toasters of Duncan Hines. To reflect the growing diversity of products, the names of North American companies were changed in 1956. American Thermos Bottle Company became The American Thermos Products Company, and Canadian Thermos Bottle Co. Ltd. changed its name to Canadian Thermos Products Limited.
Historical interest
Thermos products made a huge impact in the 1950s and sold over 2 million units. In 2004, the Smithsonian museum featured Thermos products as part of a retrospective of "Taking America for Lunch" lunch equipment from the 1880s to the 1980s.
