Special Notes: This study investigated whether Wham-O's trademarked name "Frisbee" was in violation of fair practice rules. At the time several organizations and disc manufacturers were seeking to have the name ruled generic (by prior use) so that it could be used by anyone. The FTC upheld Wham-Os trademark.
