Amiga is a word in the spanish dictionary. Quite how they managed to trademark it in the first place is beyond me.

Easy as you can use almost any name you like. from the dictionary when you tie it to a product & make it a brand name.

Made up names are alot harder be used by anyone even in differents fields with out permition from the name holder in most cases. it depends on the strength of the brand.

There is even a Hotel called AMIGA as long as what your making is in a different field to what the other name holders are doing you can use & register the name.

@Wayne

Way to misread what I said. This has NOTHING to do with being pro-genesi or pro-Amiga Inc it has to do with you putting down this guy just because he has a difference of opinion with you WHEN you berate others for doing the same.

Agreed

why is this topic not in talk about?




Because bad news for amiga inc is good news for amiga.org and it's sponsors. And thus deserves a place on the front screen (which it wouldn't get in the correct forum.)

Agreed

Im glad im not the only one seeing this trend.
