just when i thought those florida guys couldn't do anything to make me think even less of them, they prove me wrong. well done.



Just curious, but how different in your mind is this than when Ben also was forced to defend the Amiga Inc. IP?

It must be nice for them to just sit back and watch others take all the heat, eh?

As AInc is certainly no longer protecting anything, it's up to Hyperion and CUSA to defend the trademarks unless they want them watered down so much that they get useless.



Yep. It's hard for the licensor (parent company) to protect any trademarked product they might have...when they have none. heh. So, it's up to the licensees.

This has never been announced at Amiga Inc OR C=USA website
 as official news, just rumored at forums. Without documents no faith in liars.



Barry announced it. If you're expecting Bill M. to confirm, you'll have quite a wait.

Yeah, or come with a formal threat of law-suit (I can imagine the letter that Hyperion sent to Commodore)



Once again, that is -not- how it works.
It is Amiga Inc.'s job to play the role of referee here. Hyperion did not write a complaint to CUSA.

Registering trademarks is optional.

...I'll let cgutjahr explain this.
