Nah, it happens in Dutch too. Aspirine for example is commonly used for the generic medicine, even though it's a brand name. (Hell, it's sometimes even used as a general term for a light over-the-counter pain killer like paracetamol.)

TomTom is also sometimes used for general navigation systems, though that has been going downhill as fast as the company.

"Googlen" is used too in the general sense. Google does have a huge market share, so it's usually correct, but people do "google on Bing".
