Dollar value of Amiga trademark
« on: December 10, 2008, 06:25:18 PM »
I was wondering what the dollar value of the Amiga trademark is and was.  I presume that it has been bundled (largely) with the IP rights as it has changed hands.  Does anyone know the history of the price it has commanded, both at the "beginning" (after the demise of Commodore) and the last time it changed hands?

That would only drive up the number of dollars it's worth.


Exactly.  But to be accurate, note that the British Pound is doing much worse than the US dollar as of late!  Anyway, I highly doubt that Amiga Inc would take anything less than several million $US for the name.

I bet if you offered Amiga inc. $50,000US for the name "AMIGA" they'd jump on it like strung-out crack addicts.


 :lol:

I might suggest a different plan though. They hang around with dreams of the big payoff. Instead, ignore them. Maybe they'll go away.

I don't know what AI's finances look like, but if they do ever go bankrupt, we'll find out exactly what the trademark is worth (the rational free-market value) vs. what AI is willing to sell it for now (probably an irrationally high price).
