It started off as a highly specific name for a single board game, but now, is and has been, used to describe a countless number of similar games.
(board and software clones)
I've been playing scrabble clones for over 20 years, everyone that ever played just assumed they were differant versions of scrabble.
I thaught the power of a trademark was diminished once it became so common that the average person used it to referance anything similar to it.
I think scrabble ranks up there with xerox,kleenex and aspirin.
