Putting the Amiga trademark in promotional material, for what is intended as a product if there is enough interest, is still an issue.
I personally don't care what the Daddy does.
The images were brought to my attention by a couple of people.
He can choose to ignore my friendly requests or not.
I am just warning him that he should be careful with the trademarks, that's all.
We're a small company trying to do the best we can with the IP we have, not a big bad corporation.

To answer Franko from the other thread, this is just a warning that he is committing an obvious IP violation.
Most likely as a deliberate provocation, given his history of attacks.
I have no desire to see anyone, even one of our harshest of critics, suffer at the end of the law.
You may not respect our company, but trademark law is something else.

@proteus
This is about trademarks, not about inventions.
The two are not equivalent and you are misinterpreting the situation.
We are not a big bad corporation but the very definition of the little guy.
It isn't about hunting anyone....it is about intent.
He can't feign ignorance that he was not doing anything wrong.
It was not an innocent mistake.
Given "The Daddy's" previous public attacks and contempt towards our company it was clearly intended as provocation and a publicity stunt.
He is using trademarks in his publicity materials he knows very well he cannot use legally. End of story.
We don't post here for the advertising, let me assure you.
