The word zipper is an example of what the owners of trademarks try to prevent. Registered in 1925, zipper was originally a B.F. Goodrich trademark for overshoes with fasteners. A Goodrich executive is said to have slid the fastener up and down on the boot and exclaimed, “Zip 'er up,” from the zipping sound made by the device. The noun zip and the verb zip, referring to a light sharp sound or to motion accompanied by that kind of sound, were already in existence (zip as a noun was first recorded in 1875; as a verb, in 1852). The two words owed their origin to the imitation by speakers of the sound made by a rapidly moving object. As the fastener that “zipped” came to be used in other articles, its name became generalized. B.F. Goodrich sued to protect its trademark but was allowed to retain proprietary rights over it only for its Zipper Boots. Zipper had moved out into the world of common nouns.
