Historical Background
The Borax trademark became widely recognised through the 20 Mule Team Borax brand in the late 19th century. Regulatory restrictions introduced from 2010 onwards in the UK and EU — classifying borax as a reproductive toxin — substantially diminished its commercial value, creating an unusual case of a trademark devalued by regulation rather than competitive pressure.
