Hi, Alexander -- on Mar 15 2021 at 07:55, you wrote:

Most of the time, yes. They are brand names and must be spelled the way the
owner wants. Aspirin, however, has become a generic word (so has "kleenex")
meaning the owner has lost control of the name, so either with or without a
capital is allowed.



Cheers... Dallas
