Big Ben Aussie just popped up to say they have just halted sales temporarily and watch for an announcement.  Maybe they're at CES shopping for a clue?


Maybe this is the groundbreaking major announcement they were saying was coming a year ago?

Apparently they are being sued by one of their strategic partners.

T G 3 Electronics Inc vs. Commodore USA

Such is the sad history of everything Commodore and Amiga.

That was their keyboard supplier for the C64x.

Not a good sign, CUSA probably was buying on NET 30 or NET 60 terms, and now there is no one to write them a check.  Something tells me Barry was the sole owner of the LLC and all this probably needs to go through probate and the whole 9 yards.

Most interesting, who is left to defend the Commodore trademark?  Who the heck even owns it?  CUSA didn't, but I'm not sure they were paying royalties until the Asiarim court battle was over- what happened with that?  But Barry could write a cease and desist letter at the drop of hat, based on the presumption of an exclusive license from the winners of the court battle.  And he purposely put in the right to defend the Amiga trademark in his agreement with Bill.

Do we have ourselves the Wild Wild West ?
