The fact that my daughter’s ability to speak is becoming a casualty of a patent battle between two businesses is beyond my comprehension. This is a patent issue, a monetary issue, a legal issue, a business issue. This should be handled in a business vs. business way, within the court system. PRC’s decision to fight for the removal of this app from the iTunes store isn’t just an aggressive move against Speak for Yourself, it’s an attack on my child, the other children using this app, and the children who are ready to begin using this app but now cannot.

  1. Signed the petition thus:
    I think that the needs of this community of disadvantaged people should allow a better resolution than to take this product off the market. Keep selling and put the funds in escrow, let courts decide who gets what proportion of this essentially life-saving technology!

  2. I have signed the petition. Removing the app doesn’t help either PRC even if they win, but hurts everyone else no matter what the outcome is.
