R-134a (the new stuff) works just fine in a system designed from the
factory to use it, and it works almost as well in a R-12 system that
is retrofitted to use R-134a.

And Suva is the DuPont registered trade name for many of their other
refrigerants. Dupont makes Freon and Suva, nobody else does.
Everyone else makes R-12, R-22, R-134a, etcetera, and if they want
to push their own trade name for the product that's their business -
but they can't call it Freon or Suva. If they do, DuPont can and will
sue them for trademark infringement.
Look at Aspirin - it was a registered trademark of Bayer AG, but
they didn't defend it properly for many years. When they finally
tried to stop other companies from abusing the name a court ruled that
they were too late and voided the trademark, the name is now free to
use on all the generics.
