Amiga Inc. does not own the word, "Amiga." They own the trademark for the use of that word with respect to technology. If someone else wants to come up with a brand of chocolate bars and call them "Amiga" or a new shampoo called "Amiga," they may lay claim to such a trademark right now without paying Amiga Inc. a penny.
For better or worse, I think the Amiga trademark still has quite a high value. I would sell my house for it, but I have a feeling that I would need about 10-20 more such houses!
i never understood very well how a word which appears in a dictionary can have a trademark..
