DFS Trademark

1996-10-11 Thread Laura_Stentz

I have received a few inquires (some posted to this bboard) about
whether or not we are taking legal action regarding the DFS Trademark.

I appreciate your interest and concern, however, I cannot comment
on legal matters via this medium.

  Laura, is Transarc pursing any sort of legal action?  This seems like a
clear case of copyright infringement, and certainly is not in good faith.

  Certainly the marketing goons at Microsoft can come up with something
better.  :-]

DFS Trademark

1996-10-09 Thread Laura_Stentz

Recently, there have been a number of inquiries about Microsoft's use
of the term DFS to refer to its new file system.  As many of you have
pointed out, unfortunately, this has created confusion among our
customers.  To clarify, DFS is a trademark of Transarc Corporation.
The product to which Microsoft has referred as "Dfs" is not related
to Transarc's DFS product.  In fact, there are a number of important
technical differences between the products which have been
enumerated in prior postings to this bboard.

If you have any additional questions about this matter, please feel free
to contact me directly.  Thank you for your continued interest in our
products!
