They may not have even known of the old Amiga computer.  Hardly anyone under 25 or anyone who wasn't into computers in the late 80's remembers the Amiga any more.  Mention Amiga today and you just get 'Omega?  What's that? Is it like a Playstation?'

I would advise anyone starting a business to do a quick search to see if the name thay want is in use already. The fact that amiga.com was already registered should have been enough. A quick search for "Amiga computer" would have given enough evidence that a company called Amiga that sells computer stuff  is already in existence.

Failure to check if your chosen name is already in use can be disastrous.

Well, their company is called Amiga Electronics, and they sell mainly electronic components and PCB's.  

Ok, so they can sell electronic components and PCBs under that name. However, if I had a company called Sun electronics, do you think I'd get away with selling "Sun Workstations"? I suspect that Sun Microsystems would shut me down pretty quickly. It's te same with this company. Their naming might sound logical, but they are infringing on someone else's trademark.

Looking at their page statistics, it appears that we've caused a bit of a spike. I wonder if they're wondering why they've suddenly got such an international interest (look at the last visitors list). :lol:
