Industrial employees may not evaluate or comment about the products of a competitor. Authors should make no claims of priority or novelty and avoid terms such as "new.¡¯¡¯ A manuscript concerning patients requires medical authorship, an animal study requires a medical or veterinary practitioner.

Do not use a trademarked term as a generic, e.g., Marker ChannelTM, a trademarked term.
An excellent reference is SPECIAL REPORT: UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS FOR MANUSCRIPTS SUBMITTED TO BIOMEDICAL JOURNALS. N Engl J Med 1997; 336:309-315 and Ann Intern Med 1997; 126:36-47. Where UNIFORM REQUIREMENTS differs from PACE Instructions, PACE prevails. The AMA Style Manual is a useful reference.
