MessageGood evening,

I know very little about trademark infringment in the United States. However, I find it difficult to believe that a significant number of persons are confused between "Freedom Scientific's JAWS", and "Serotech's Freedom Box". Is this really confusing people?

Everett

 Hello John,

Serotek provides alternative technology for the blind, some of which does compete with the JAWS screen reader sold by Freedom Scientific. Their System Access screen reader is relatively new to the field, but their FreedomBox Network has been around since 2000. FreedomBox Network is essentially an online service similar to AOL. In fact, many of us refer to the FreedomBox Network as AOL for the blind. System Access and their newer remote access technologies provide completely mobile computer access to virtually any system, as well as potentially new employment opportunities for blind people who must have remote access to other computers.

Freedom Scientific is suing Serotek over the use of the term "FreedomBox". Please feel free to read http://www.blindaccessjournal.com and http://www.thedesertskies.com as well as do Google searches, before deciding whether or not you will sign onto the petition.

 Thanks.

What is the lawsuit about? I have no idea who this other company is or what they provide, so I am totally lost.
   Take care,
