DataPoint has a trademark (and has had it since the '70s) on the word
ARC.  As reprinted from a current Datapoint Manual:

 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
 | "Attached Resource Computer" is a trademark of DATAPOINT Corporation. |
 | Registered in the US patent and Trademark office.                     |
 | "ARC" is a trademark of DATAPOINT Corp.                               |
 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

This can be confirmed at any Datapoint Corporation sales office in
most major cities.

Datapoint has been notified and will no doubt be dealing with SEA in
due course.
