It got tried fairly recently here in Norway (2016). Here, the common term for potato chips is "potetgull", literally "potato gold". This was ACTUALLY a brand name owned by manifacturer Maarud, who sued the competing manifacturer Kims when they called one of their products potetgull as well.
It was taken to court and the judge ruled that the "potetgull" term had become so generic at this point everyone were free to use it, though Kims still decided to be nice and drop their use of the word. The court case got massive public attention since pretty much the entire nation had NO idea the only potato chip bags that actually said "potetgull" on them were Maarud brand ones.
