 Talking boards became very popular in the late 1800s and  in 1890, Elijah Bond, Charles Kennard and William H.A. Maupin had the idea to turn the board into a toy. They filed the first patent for a game they called the X board which was granted in 1891. X is an ancient Egyptian word meaning “good luck.” The Kennard Novelty company manufactured these boards which was renamed as X Novelty company.  William Fuld, an employee there, eventually took over production of the boards. He holds more X patents and copyrights than anyone else in history, a grand total of 21 registrations in three countries including the design for the modern planchette. In 1966, Fuld’s estate sold the family business to Parker Brothers, which manufactured the modern boards as we know them today. In 1991, Parker Brothers was sold to Hasbro, which now holds all the rights and patents for X.

To commemorate Liberation Day in South Korea, Bumyang introduced X(a non-alcoholic beverage) in 1996. Beginning in 1973, Bumyang had been the company licensed by The Coca-Cola Company to produce and bottle Coca-Cola in Korea. In 1996, however, that license was given to another company. In response to this, Bumyang developed a new cola and called it X and used a marketing campaign based on the idea of Korean “Cola Independence”. They attempted to appeal to Korean citizens by marketing a cola made in Korea by a Korean company as being a better option than the dominant brand, Coca-Cola, which was made by an American company.

"Regina v. Hicklin"(1868) case involved one Henry Scott, who resold copies of an anti-Catholic pamphlet entitled "The Confessional Unmasked: shewing the depravity of the Romish priesthood, the iniquity of the Confessional, and the questions put to females in confession." When the pamphlets were ordered destroyed as obscene, Scott appealed the order to the court of Quarter Sessions. Benjamin Hicklin, the official in charge of such orders as Recorder, revoked the order of destruction.
