On March 15, 2004, Amiga, Inc.(a state of Washington company) announced that on April 23, 2003 it had transferred its rights over past and future versions of the Amiga OS (but not over other intellectual property) to Itec,LLC, later acquired by KMOS, Inc. (a state of Delaware company).
The statement has since then been removed from amiga.com, but it is archived at

The March 15, 2004 statement reads in part:
On April 23, 2003 Amiga entered into an Agreement with Itec LLC, later acquired by KMOS, Inc. for the transfer and sale of all of Amiga's right, title, source code, and all versions, from the "Classic Amiga Operating System" through AmigaOS 4.0 and all subsequent versions to KMOS, Inc. ... "I [Garry Hare] should point out, that except as they relate to the Amiga OS family of products, KMOS did not acquire the Amiga name, intellectual property or its DE line of products. These assets remain the property of Amiga Inc."
On March 16, 2005, KMOS, Inc. announced that it had completed all registrations with the State of Delaware to change its corporate name to Amiga, Inc.
So it would appear that Amiga, Inc. (Delaware, formerly KMOS) owns the Amiga OS, and Amiga, Inc. (Washington) owns the trademarks,etc. Is this correct? If this changed, at what exact date(s) were the remaining assets transferred from Amiga, Inc. (Washington) to Amiga, Inc. (Delaware)? We know that it is claimed that in April 2003 the OS changed hands, but the Amiga community is still missing an announcement about this other important change of ownership of the rest of the Amiga IP.
