Books On Tape

Books on Tape is a term used in reference to audio books. However, it is actually a trademark for the Books on Tape Corporation. This company arose in 1970.

A trademark is a brand name for a product. The phrase "Books on Tape" has become similar to that of Band-Aid. While each refers to a company's specific products, the phrases have been more widespread at times than the general term for their products ("audio books" and "adhesive bandages" respectively.)

Today, there is not as big of an issue with the Books on Tape trademark as there used to be. This is because "tape" is more appropriate for use with cassettes. However, cassette tapes are no longer the most popular audio book option. Instead, CDs and digital formats have taken over the market.
