This information was sent to me by a colleague, and I thought that it might be interesting to see what your opinions on the matter might be. It seems that a Chicago hornmaker is attempting to get the name "Carl Geyer, Chicago" trademarked. What this person wants to do with this name remains unclear, but it appears to me that the name of Geyer has become synonymous with a type of horn wrap, and it has come into public usage by many makers.
