Commodore USA

hmm, I see moderators will be busy with this thread.

atleast have some decency and speak like grown ups... no need to insult like a child.

as to CUSA, I await their (new announced)products. Everything else was already said and no need to go over it yet again.

The inclusion of the words 'software' and 'operating system' is rather suspect.

It's not... they hold those rights, just can't use them as long as Hyperion uses them. Simple as that... Hyperion doesn't own anything other than an exclusive licence to those names(and the OS4 code + right to use previous OS 3.1 and distribute it), just as C=USA does with C= and Amiga trademarks.

Hyperion DOES NOT own AmigaOS or Amiga OS trademark rights...

You said the same thing on AW after I gave you the link proving the opposite.

Perhaps yet again... selective reading.

"As part of the settlement agreement, the Amiga Parties acknowledge that Hyperion is the sole owner of AmigaOS 4 without prejudice to any third party rights."

And your link and quote only goes to show that they own only OS4 code. Trademarks they do not own, period.

"Hyperion have an exclusive RIGHT..."

Once again why do people feel the need to edit the original wording.  A 'license' is different to a 'right'.

Essentially Hyperion won the right to use AmigaOS (etc...), Amiga Inc didn't 'give it up' - it was taken from them in a court of law.  The rest of your paragraph is correct. :rtfm:

AmigaOS is still Amiga Inc.'s trademark, they just cannot use it while Hyperion is using it.  Amiga did gave it up, they settled.
