Commodore trademark has a new daddy

[spirantho]

It's good that all the Commodore and Amiga branding is united under one roof again.....

.. as long as the names aren't just used to stick on generic PCs as leverage to sell machines anyway.

All this does not mean they can now go after Hyperion and Aeon again for use of the AmigaOne and AmigaOS names, can they?

tj

Nope. That's already been settled, they can't be tried again, it'd just be thrown out of court.

Plus I seriously doubt C=USA either have the money to go through such a court case, or to be stupid enough to try, given the fact that it's already been decided in Hyperion's favour (and before anyone pipes up saying Hyperion didn't win, it was quite obvious that Hyperion had the stronger case otherwise Amiga Inc wouldn't have capitulated so easily - that's as good as winning).

No, this is not the big announcement.   Haters should rest up, they will need all their strength when the announcement hits.

Serioisly, and I mean this as genuine advice, you and other C=USA people would be very well advised to stop with the news of announcements. It's one thing to put out a bit of hype but going on and on about how there's going to be an announcement just gets everybody fed up and not interested.

You're getting a reputation for hyperbole much more than a reputation for products, is that really what you want?

Bring more popcorn!

2012 will be the Year of the Amiga!

We need an official popcorn brand for A.org...

I was just thinking how nice it was not having C=USA arguments all over the front page... it was almost like a website about Amigas.... and then it got bumped . Not good.

(incidentally, it's at the top of the front page list at the moment so I'm not bumping it myself.)
