 Hello Jim,
JS>> Tarmac is also named after a building company based in the UK.
     I believe "Tarmacadam" was "invented/discovered" by a Scottish 
gentleman by the name of "Macadam" back in the days when balloonists 
wore red tights, and was abbreviated to "Tarmac" 
JS>    Who owns the trademark.  The building Company?
       Believe the same person founded the company in the U.K. known as 
tarmac, so presumably they do?
                             regards Nigel
