Past tense of the word "xerox", which 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.
