I figured I was doing exactly what you did. Sometimes it helps to see someone finding the same things just to be sure you got it right. Sorry I couldn't add anything new.<br />
<br />
Yeah, it's weird to cap things that are used so widely and generically, like Kleenex, but that's a trademark too.

Thank you, Marla. That's basically what I had discovered too, going to M-W first and then to Onelook.com. You are so sweet for taking the time to help me. It just looks weird capped throughout the transcript ...

It wasn't listed in Merriam-Webster, my favorite dictionary, though on Onelook.com it comes up capped in two dictionaries - Wikipedia and Info Please (two sources I wouldn't necessarily trust).<br />
<br />
Wikipedia says this, "Modern popularization of the sport was made possible by Tom Morey who designed the first mass-produced bodyboard coined the "Morey 'Boogie' Board"."<br />
<br />

<br />
But after doing a Google search for "boogie board trademark," I found this interesting <a href="http://www.vegastrademarkattorney.com/2009/06/toy-maker-seeks-declaratory-judgment.html" target="_blank">article</a> which seems to indicate that "Boogie" is a trademark owned by <a href="http://www.wham-o.com/default.cfm?page=Search&SearchFlag=true&SearchString=boogie" target="_blank">Wham-O, Inc</a>. That site shows a circled R after "Boogie" but not "Board," though it caps both.<br />
<br />
So in my extremely uneducated guessery, I'd say "body board" is a generic term for the trademarked term "Boogie Board."<br />
<br />
Oh, if these people only knew how much effort we put into our transcripts, huh? Boogie board, cap or no?

Boogie board, cap or no?<br />
<br />
I've found two dictionaries that say it's a trademark and to cap it, and three dictionaries that have it lowercase. Thoughts?<br />
<br />
Thanks.

I wouldn't capitalize "hearing judge" at all in that context. Only if it were used in direct address or a title preceeding his name would I capitalize it. Examples:<br />
"I would like to request, Hearing Judge, that you..."<br />
"We also have Hearing Judge Jones present."<br />
