Japanese term or phrase: その他の商品名は、一般に各社の商標または登録商標です。
その他の商品名は、一般に各社の商標または登録商標です。

Other products are, generally, trademarks of each company or registered trademark.

Is this correct?
Revati
Other product names may be trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.
Explanation:
The above answer is close, but not exactly right. We usually say "Other product names may be trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies". This is exemplified by the fact that there are over 1,500 examples of "other product names may be trademarks or registered trademarks of". For "各社", there are several variations, like "their respective companies", "their respective holders", "their respective owners", and all of these make clear difference with "other companies", which is not the same as "各社".

The latter half of the above sentence would read more smoothly by re-phrasing it as follows: The other merchandise brand names are trademarks or registered trademarks of other companies.

(Thanks go to Yakugo for catching this detail!)

  -> Thank you for the comment!
disagree  jsl (X): It's close but we don't say like this: 1) "the" is not necessary; 2) "are" should be changed; and 3) singular "a trademark" doesn't make sense.
