TENDERSTEM is a registered trademark of Sakata UK Ltd, see the following link: https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/016499477. As such if TENDERSTEM is to appear in a dictionary, it should have reference that it is a registered trade mark, although really a registered trade mark should not appear in a dictionary at all. I wonder if you could also guide me as to how I contact moderators at Wiktionary to have TENDERSTEM removed from the list of genericized trademarks. Having taken a look at the list, it seems there are quite a lot of other trademarks on the list so I think a fair amount of work will be needed to make sure Wiktionary is an accurate source of information. I do hope you will be able to help me - thanks!"

Thanks for your message. We include words as they are used in the English language (for example, many people say "I need a kleenex" when they want a tissue, even though Kleenex is a trademark). If you object to this then you will have to take it to a legal court in your local region. Thanks. Equinox 22:37, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
