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.

That sounds completely different to what you put here.

If it had been anyone else but one of our most vocal critics I would have been more discreet.
But he can't feign ignorance after everything he has written.
I can't help but see this as a provocation. That much is obvious.
This is a product he intends to sell or at least get public interest in to sell.
This is not slapping an Amiga sticker on your oven in your kitchen.
I am also formally requesting on behalf of Commodore USA, that you remove the Amiga branding from the video too.

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.

Which is fair enough but if this was the case then you should have contacted theDaddy via PM and not blurted it out publicly. Or even sent him and email with all this in it. To me, from what you have written, it seems like you have targetted theDaddy publicly in a case of sour grapes.

Franko over at amigaworld.net

"I was kinda hoping that no one would have made that public on the forums as I've been waiting since last September for "someone" to try and officially issue a Cease & Desist or warning not to use the Amiga trademark which became "dead" on the 19th of September 2011...

Oh well, the cats out of the bag now but I'm surprised Barry didn't want to pay the fees to re-register it as he knew the Trademark was dead as I had mentioned it to him)...

So now that everyone knows it's dead then I don't suppose you'll be receiving any legal correspondence from CUSA now {even they wouldn't be daft enough to try that, would they !!!)...

Been thinking about registering it myself since last year and basically licensing it for a fee of penny to people in the community to use for their projects (that way it would end all this BS by CUSA), perhaps it's time I did so as Barry obviously has no intentions of paying the fee...

I need to decide if it's worth the fees just to finally put an end to all this BS once and for all, what do you think... "

Well this got interesting lol. Hell I would buy a license off him, print hundreds of stickers and paste my house in them.
