Wait, so Gateway still owns all the patents and intellectual property related to the Amiga? But Amiga, Inc just owns the "Amiga name" and website?

Fuckkkkk. Cause that means Acer now owns all the Amiga patents and ip since they own Gateway. My dreams of winning the lotto, buying out Amiga, Inc, kicking Bill McEwen to the curb and resurrecting the classic hardware/OS and actually give it back to the people just went down the drain.
Amiga patents are worthless now. As Dammy has pointed out, most have expired or relate to dead technology.

Amiga patents are as relevant to the computer industry as Steam Engine patents are to the aviation industry :)

That's kinda funny, considering how air planes are catapulted from air craft carriers using steam engines, and they for sure have lots of patents attached.
My point wasn't that steam technology was totally irrelevant to the aviation industry, only that most patents relating to steam technology expired years ago or covers things that have been superseded :)
