The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
A trade-name is a name which by user and reputation has acquired the property of indicating that a certain trade or occupation is carried on by a particular person. The name may be that of a person, place, or thing, or it may be what is called a "fancy name" (i. e., a name having no sense, as applied to the particular trade), or word invented for the occasion, and having no sense at all.
