Shifting the Sands of the TradeMark...

[MarkTime]

Bill,

I've been meaning to ask you for a while now, and I never got 'round to it, but this MorphOS 1.4 to be released at AmiWest, would you describe it as being 'Y2K' compliant?

I assume bbrv, is always Bill...there is just no way someone named Raquel Valesco is hanging around in an Amiga BBS...c'mon ...'nuff said.

alright <--me going back to work now

@ bbrv

well yea, the girls like it, its easier for them, its alot cooler and it healthier to let the boys hang for a while.

But that picture is not depicting that, is depicting AMD degrading Intell

*yawn*

Well, when AmigaInc made other challenges, there wasn't much action. Beside, any company that let's their trademarks run out looks idiotic and unreliable. Why allow things like this to happen? :pint:

By the way, did you get a chance to pick up some stuff at the AmigaInc auction? :-D

True, my full name is Alkiviadis Alexandros Tsapanidis. Alkis A. Tsapanidis. :-D

The current theory-that-makes-sense of the moment is that they let it expire to keep it from being seized as an asset by the courts to pay Bolton Peck and others who ARE currently legally owed money.

Well, the end of a long day here...:-)

Matt, TMHG, WarPiper, Robert, Joel, Alkis, Wayne...you guys are real people, with day-to-day lives and Superman tendencies!  Without people like you there would not be an "AMIGA" today. We hope we end up with the trademarks, because you deserve them...;-)

More tomorrow!

R&B   :-)

@darth
have you actually read the law on challenging them?   A 2 year old could challenge a trademark with a crayon and a napkin. On top of that all they have to do is say they didn't recieve the renewal form because of being evicted.  Then they have 2 months from then to take claim to them. So who knows. :-D

We were noticed today by the USPTO.

The file has been accepted!

Crazy!!!  :-o

There may be other issues.  We will see, but it sure is strange!

In any case for all you folks that want the Amiga trademark on a Pegasos, we have hundreds of legally obtained versions of AmigaOS 3.5 that we will happily bundle with the Pegasos for this special niche market.  That is just for all of you that really want the boing ball on your Pegasos!  :-)

Have a great day!  :-D

The day I see the words Genesi Amiga on pegasosppc.com I'll fall about laughing! ;-)

[MarkTime]

I must not have won my auction bid (advance internet placed) because I wasn't notified of any winnings :-(

[Hooligan_DCS]

Wish it could be possible to rename MorphOS to AmigaOS .. I wouldn't mind dying away laughing :lol:

[bbrv]

Now, Hooligan, be good!

:lol:

There is no morphing Morph!

[Warface]

Damn... I laughed my socks off... Just as I promised :-)

The fun factor: Unbelieveable!!! :-)

So what does this "accept" mean?

That it has been filed for further investigation?

Or that you now can use the "Amiga" brand for "computer software used to facilitate development of software applications that can run on multiple platforms and other electronic devices; operating system software for personal computers and other electronic devices"?

 :-?  :-?

Yes, that's what it means. This is what I have found when I checked its status

But he could release a pegasos with on-board video in an A1200 style case and call it an Amiga legally! :-D

Not if the holder of 73571532 decides they can't. That trademark is still live and covers: COMPUTERS, COMPUTER DISK DRIVES, RAM EXPANSION CARTRIDGES, COMPUTER MONITORS, AND COMPUTER MODEMS
