“Travelpro company founder, Bob Plath, coined and trademarked the term Rollaboard® to describe his invention of upright wheeled luggage back in 1987. Travelpro has used this word to describe their 2-wheel rolling luggage ever since. The term, Rollaboard®, originally caught on with airline pilots and flight attendants who were the first users of this new invention. Today, many travelers use the word generically to describe wheeled carry-on luggage.”
