The Next-Gen Amiga hardware

[Alkemyst]

So I'm not using an IBM since it is differnt then IBM's PS/2 road map IBM had way back when?

I don't care if Amiga Inc has the offical name or not that is just a name. Besides if Genesi wanted to they could contest the copyright on the name Amiga for the reason it is a spanish word and you can't copyright single words.

@Psy

Infact yes you can copyright a single word, existing or madeup.

If what your saying was true im sure the courts would of stoped Amiga from ever beeing used in the first place for all these years.

Microsoft have copyrighted Windows & we all know that the word windows has been around far longer than microsoft & another MS-Word

You can link almost any word you like to a product line. Once you do so im most cases no one else can use that name on similar products.

@Psy, Alkemyst

You can't copyright words at all. You can have them as trademarks, on the other hand..

 
Yes your right & thats what i ment.

Psy was claiming that amiga.inc can not copyright Amiga wich is true but that not what amiga.inc or any amiga firm before have done.

So there was confusion on my part.

I think what Psy may of been saying is that amiga.inc can not use amiga as a trademark because its a word wich has already got a meaning, in wich case he is wrong.
