Apparently Adobe does not want people useing Photoshop as a verb or as a noun. They even made this page about it!
Here is a direct quote from the page: Quote: Trademarks are not verbs.
CORRECT: The image was enhanced using Adobe® Photoshop® software.
INCORRECT: The image was photoshopped.
| And another: Quote: Trademarks are not nouns.
CORRECT: The image pokes fun at the Senator.
INCORRECT: The photoshop pokes fun at the Senator.
| Check this site out for your self. It's worth a laugh.

Points: 29.92 Donate | | HAHA!!!! If I were them, I'd be happy if my brand was used outside of it's intended use. Hey, it's free advertising!!! Just look at how many words have become relaced by brandnames besides "edit" becoming "photoshoped...." - Kleenex/Tissue
- Xerox/Copy
- BAND-AID/adhesive bandage
- Aspirin/non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug
- Spandex/polyurethane fiber
- Super Hero/trademarked jointly by Marvel Comics and DC Comics, though usually regarded as a comic-book genre
- Teflon/Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), used as a non-stick surface, trademark of DuPont
- Jell-O/gelatin dessert
This list goes on and on...See the full list at List of generic and genericized trademarks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you say: I photoshopped this with MSPaint, you are using it as a verb and the trademark people can void their trademark if it is used to commonly like that.
That's what I heard somewhere, not sure how accurate it is. |

That's what I heard somewhere, not sure how accurate it is. | Acctully, you do bring up a very good point. Currently, Google is at risk of losing the trademark to Google because of the word "Googling." It has been defined in both Oxford and Merriam-Webster dictionaries. If a trademark is lost, anyone can then produce a product with that word. How many google spin-off would you want floating around?
Two examples of this are "Webster's Dictionary" and "Asprin." With just a quick look online, there are over 100 different dictionaries that use the name "Webster," but the orriginal dictionary is Merriam-Webster, because "Webster" lost it's trademark status, and the company had to re-mark under the name "Merriam-Webster." Asprin, on the other hand, lost it's trademark during WWI when the government of the U.S. sezied the holdings of Bayer and never deffened its trademark.
