When did Amiga Inc buy the rights to Commodore from Tulip Computers?

[Amiga_Nut]

Yes Tulip Computers bought the rights to Commodore and licensed this to Ironstone for creation of the C64 DTV all-in-one unit. They only went bust in Sept 2009 (at which point they had changed their name to Nedfield)

So is it clear exactly when Amiga Inc bought the Commodore (non Amiga) IP in the garage sale for the dismantling of Tulip Computers? Please only post links to factual information, no hearsay or waffle. Obviously you would assume this is the case as ************ got agreement to make the C64x from Amiga Inc I believe but can anyone actually point me to factual legal accounts of if/when Bill got the rights to Commodore as well as Amiga?

It's quite important I know IF Amiga Inc have the licence required to recreate something like the C64 DTV or not in 2011 onwards.

Thank you

well he sure didnt get it from amiga inc. - they never owned it!

From September 2009 anyone could have purchased the Commodore IP from Nedfield/Tulip Computers as they folded then.

I believe the actual copyright and IP to the C64 DTV motherboard/casing is with Ironstone Partners or Mammoth toys yes? Not sure which of those two own it but Ironstone didn't own the C= IP at the time hence Tulip licensed it.
