Infant Bodysuit - Onesies Brand

Onesies Brand

One of the more popular brands of infant bodysuits is Onesies ( /ˈwʌnziːz/ WUN-zeez), manufactured by Gerber Childrenswear (formerly part of Gerber Products Company). The terms "Onesie" or "Onesies" are sometimes used in the United States as if they were a genericized trademark; however, "Onesies" is a registered trademark of Gerber Childrenswear, which objects to both the usage of the term as a generic name and the usage of the singular form "Onesie". Gerber Childrenswear continues to enforce and defend its trademark, most of the times with out even warning users that were not aware that "Onesies" belong to Gerber. A 2008 WIPO arbitration case between Kellwood Company (of which Gerber Childrenswear was a subsidiary at the time) and a company known as "Onesies Corporation" based in West Hollywood, California over the Internet domain name "onesies.net" concluded that Gerber Childrenswear had valid trademark rights, but that, for purposes of the domain name dispute, Kellwood had not proven that Onesies Corporation adopted the domain name in bad faith. Despite the ruling, the domain name is currently registered to Gerber Childrenswear. Furthermore, some infringers have changed the name of garments they had called "onesies" when made aware of the federally-protected status of the trademark.

Babygro is also a trademark brand, invented in the U.S. in the 1950s by Walter Artzt.
