Acer own the Amiga Name and IP, KMOS only has a license to use it!

From Wikipedia:

Ownership of the Amiga line passed through several owners, from Escom of Germany in 1995, and then to U.S. PC clone maker Gateway in 1997, before being licensed an exclusive lifetime licence to Amiga, Inc., a Washington company founded by former Gateway employees Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss in 2000. On March 15, 2004, Amiga, Inc. announced that on April 23, 2003 it had transferred its rights over past and future versions of the Amiga OS (but not over other intellectual property) to Itec, LLC, later acquired by KMOS, Inc., a Delaware company. On March 16, 2005, KMOS, Inc. announced that it had completed all registrations with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to Amiga, Inc.

If Acer does indeed own the IP, then it is Acer and not KMOS (Amiga Inc) that can file suit against IP infringement, since Acer is the injured party not Amiga Inc.

It does appear that Amiga Inc is another SCO and hopefully they will meet the same fate as SCO...

So the Question is, does KMOS have any right to use Amiga IP, name or Trademarks?  Wouldn't it be funny if the net result of their running away from creditors was the loss of the use of the Amiga name and IP!?!?!

What does lifetime mean in this context?
Is washington amiga dead or just in a coma?
I would not have thought an exclusive lifetime licence could be transfered, whether washington amiga was dead or not.
