Supertitles vs. Surtitles

What is the rationale for titling this page "surtitles" (a trademarked name) rather than "supertitles" (non-trademarked)? Both terms have about the same number of occurrences on the Web. ("Supratitles" is also used by less than 1/6th as often.) GCL (talk) 23:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Surtitles → Supertitles – This article is currently at a trademarked name for the method. Unsure why it isn't using the original created name for the process made years earlier that is also not a trademarked name. Article also omitted mention of the original creator and only listed the guy who made said trademark as the developer until I changed it just now, so that's strange in itself. See some examples of sources at Sonya Friedman to see term usage and creation, with there also being many, many other uses of supertitles across news articles in the past several decades with a simple Newspapers.com search.

Surtitles is definitely a notable trademarked term, but it is also notable in a way where it can exist in its own separate article on the specific manner of its usage. This article should be the overview article for the term supertitles and all of its history and usages, not just what it is in Canada.
