Funny.

Good question though. I guess OTIS popularized the term 'elevator' in the US because that's what they called what they built - though I can't find that they ever tried to trademark it. Interestingly, OTIS did try to trademark the term 'Escalator' but lost their case because they had never established any other generic name for the apparatus.
