I did a patent search on Commodore in 2009 Amiga Inc AGA patents?

Apple tries GUI patents in 2010 Apple Awarded Patent on The Dock

So for FPGA Arcade and similar projects (A1200 - 1992):
 * 1984 CPU: Motorola 68020
 * 1985 I/O: MOS 8520
 * 1985 Sound: Paula
 * 1992 Graphics: AGA, Alice, Lisa

The other feature chipsets are Ranger (1987), AAA (1992), Hombre (1993). So any project involving the Hombre chipset may have to lookout. And ROM/floppy stuff is still in copyright.
(AA+ = paper product)

Spare parts list, A1200 tech

Patent expire in USA

In essence: Any patents that may exist, expires in 2012
