I have been using them for 70 years and they were always called Jubilee clips even the ones made by other companies. Goodness knows when they first appeared.

Hi
Jubilee clip has become an unenforceable brand just as Biro and Hoover seem to have. To Hoover even became a verb.
Common usage over a period of time does this and there have been legal cases where Brand ID has not been upheld because of it.

This is why a certain IT company want you to refer always to doing a Web Search rather than "I Googled it".
