Midgets Go to War: Genesi sues Amiga Inc.

[HyperionMP]

This must be one of the most baseless lawsuits I have ever come across.

Thendic signed a contract with Amiga for an AmigaDE license for their WindowsCE based products.

This contract has been dormant all this time because these devices were not produced in quantity.

It now appears that mister Buck wants to get AmigaDE support for the Pegasos notwithstanding the fact that the contract clearly stipulates a closed list of devices to be supported with AmigaDE and that the Pegasos is obviously not on this list.

The list can only be extended with Amiga Inc's permission and somehow I doubt they will grant that permission.

Before you ask, yes, I read the contract.

Got my copy from mister Buck himself way back.

If you ask me, this is an attempt to be able to market the Pegasos using the Amiga trademark.

I invite you to check the Commdore patent portfolio now held by Gateway.

I subsequently invite you to examine any AmigaOS derivative.

Without these patents which cover extremely basic functionality which everybody takes for granted in AmigaOS, there can be nothing ressembling AmigaOS.

You'll find that there are countless infringements of these patents to which Amiga hold an exclusive license from Gateway.

I'm just using this as an example because this information is available to everybody through the US Patent Office.
