The article states that the suit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Milwaukee. In the suit SEA is claiming PKWare copied one of its programs in two of their products. SEA is claiming that the names PKARC and PKXARC violate their trademark on the name ARC and their claimed copyright on the product's appearance and user interface. The article further mentions that PKWare is a four employee company which operates out of Philip Katz's home. Clearly the suit is intended for harassment based on the small size of the PKWare operation. I guess it's time to boycott SEA. Thos Sumner (thos@cca.ucsf.edu) BITNET: thos@ucsfcca (The I.G.)
