Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness threatened! Please help!

An organization has filed to own the phrase "Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Awareness".

This means that no one, no CDH family, no other organization would be able to use this phrase to raise awareness or help CDH babies while this organization would be sole owner to use awareness of this birth defect as a marketing tool. No one should own awareness of a birth defect that hurts 1600 babies a year in the U.S. and kills 800 of them. We are petitioning this with the U.S. Patent & Copyright office and need your help. Please sign this petition and forward this to family and friends:
