The trade name of a drug refers to:

The trade name is the brand name given to a drug by its manufacturer. It’s the name that appears on packaging and advertisements and is capitalized. It may include the registered trademark symbol (®) to show legal protection. This differs from the chemical name, which details the exact molecular structure, and from the generic (nonproprietary) name, which is the official standard name not tied to a specific company. For example, acetaminophen is the generic name, while Tylenol is the trade name.
