on a sidenote - if we change the spelling can we trademark GEMMS or AcuTouch
?  just curious According to http://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois,
gemms.com belongs to Sterling Jewelers in Akron, OH.  Acutouch.com
is registered to something called Genesen Texas which seems to be associated
with Cyber Depot Teknology.  From their Web site:
 The GENESEN ACUTOUCH utilizes magnetism, nature's
mysterious healing power, along with the concepts of ancient
 Chinese acupuncture, yet in a non-invasive medical device.
 The registration details on both domains are below. 
Whether these would prevent us from getting a trademark on election equipment
I don't know but obviously we wouldn't have them all to ourself. 
Global trademarks can be rather a challenge. :-)
