Amiga logo

[orb85750]

Are there any acknowledged Amiga logos that people could feel free to use on, for example, their websites without risk of getting sued?

You might circumvent the problem by taking your own digital picture of your own Amiga computer equipment (close-up on logo area).  In the fine print you should state that it is an image of your computer and that the logo is the trademark of Amiga, Inc. -- or something like that.  I do believe that this is fair use because it's your own picture of your own computer, but I'm no attorney (fortunately).

Lifetime of Trademark Registrations

For a trademark registration to remain valid, an Affidavit of Use (Section 8 Affidavit) must be filed:

(1) between the fifth and sixth year following registration, and
(2) within the year before the end of every ten-year period after the date of registration.

The registrant may file the affidavit within a grace period of six months after the end of the sixth or tenth year, with payment of an additional fee. The registrant must also file a Section 9 renewal application within the year before the expiration date of a registration, or within a grace period of six months after the expiration date, with payment of an additional fee. Assuming that affidavit of use is timely filed, registrations granted PRIOR to November 16, 1989 have a 20-year term, and registrations granted on or after November 16, 1989 have a 10-year term. This is also true for the renewal periods; renewals granted PRIOR to November 16, 1989 have a 20-year term, and renewals granted on or after November 16, 1989 have a 10-year term.
