Amiga Inc sues Hyperion VOF for trademark infringement

[Iggy_Drougge]

Amiga Inc. point out in their statement that Hyperion didn't deliver on time. Apparently OS4 was to be delivered after a short while, a year or less. But they sue only now, after more than five years have passed. If you wait that long, can you really have a case? Wouldn't it be like having an apple tree and not picking its fruits, so someone else comes and pick it, makes juice out of it and only then do you come to tell them that the apples were yours, after having neglected your fruits for so long?

.... and it would be no suprise if the tree-owner would actually win the juice in a court-case .....



Just because something is laying unused doesn't mean taking it is any less theft.

Hyperion only had a very limited project, and a clear contract  with that buyback-clause in it. Everything they did on top of  that was at their own risk. A judge may order them to only transfere what was orginally planned, but cutting OS4 back and still keeping working might be quite hard, and offcourse it wouldn't give them the rights to do anything with the rest.

Case is not about delivering a product in time. Amiga Inc bought back OS4, terminated license and is sueing Hyperion because they are illegally using Amiga's intellectual property.
