A reader on anohter list-server did a trademark search and
found that a number of other companies have registered
"scanner" as a trademark also. I think this one is going to
die a silent death. Trademarks like patents have to be
defended to be upheld. No matter how silly the original
registration was, the fact JPI and about a half dozen
other companies are not having a free-for-all against
each other should pretty well negate the issue with
respect to Matronics.
