What Wikipedia says

Velcro is a brand of versatile fastening devices, known as hook-and-loop fasteners, hook-and-pile fasteners, or touch fasteners, that allow two surfaces to be repeatedly attached and detached with ease. A trademark of Velcro Companies, the brand name is often used generically to refer to this type of fastener.
