• The word [xerox] is commonly used as a synonym for photocopy (both as a noun and a verb) i.e. to make a copy with a [Xerox] photocopy machine.
    Xerox was founded in 1906 as the [Haloid] Company, changed their name in 1958 to Xerox and came to prominence in 1959 with the introduction of the first plain paper [photocopier] using the process of xerography developed by Chester Carlson.
    The novelty and popularity of the Xerox photocopiers made them a household name in the USA for decades after.
    While the xerox word is commonly used as a synonym for photocopy, the company Xerox is concerned about the ongoing use of it, because it put the brand name in danger of being declared a generic word by the courts.
