Commodore trademark has a new daddy

[Kronos]

Did AInc really capitulate or did they just found a way of getting what they wanted (being able to licence "teh name" to someone else) without further cost ?

Hyperion having a stronger case Wasn't it something around:
"Since we didn't fullfill our part of the contract(s) we now demand that we are allowed to pull a clause that has been illegal from day one (read reordering creditors)"

The whole court case was a complete mess from both sides and the quality of the settling wasn't much better, so yes I'm quite sure a good lawyer could find a loophole allowing NotC=USA  to sue Hyperion over the use of the Amiga-trademarks.

Do I think they will go down that way ? *shrug* ..... but I sure keep a king-size bucket of popcorn ready just in case

You mean another fantastic news like that deal with Disney ?

Or that fantastic 30.000.000$ advertising budget ?

Don't forget the 100.000++ NotC=64s that have been sold via major retail outlets !!

Or that fantastic Mint-Linux based Ski^H^H^H COS !!!!!!

Hanging on the tip of my chair.

Why don't you tell us then?  Perhaps I don't know, come on, spill the beans!



Then why are haters still having to hate?  C=USA has offered an olive branch, seems the haters rather spit on them instead of accepting that olive branch.

And the Greeks even offered a big wooden horse instead of just one measly twig ...

NotC=USA have burned the bridges themselves and looking at the quality of their current merchandise I wouldn't want to use any replacement bridge they might be trying to build.
