Does anyone know who owns the copyright to the Amiga manuals?
If I were to make an Amiga 2000 from the schematics would that be wrong?
I do not know a whole lot about copyrights.

A utility patent is 20 years, I believe.
Trade Secrets are protectable.

Right now we have these:
1. Patents
2. Copyrights
3. Trademarks
4. Trade secrets (how something is processed,I think)

How does one find out if the A2000 has a current trademark?
AmigaInc. owns the OS and roms.
