Amiga Inc aren't in competition with this company.  Their business is selling PocketPC games.

If Amiga Electronics in Australia was also selling PocketPC games then they'd be in direct competition and Amiga Inc may have a case of trademark violation.

But they aren't, so these PC's are no different than Amiga sanitary towels or Amiga bathroom furniture.  Nothing to do with Amiga Inc, and not even in the same business.

I think Amiga Inc. should look into it. When someone takes the word "Amiga" and puts it on a computer, it takes advantage of a legendary computer system


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.  

What confuses me is that there exists many other companies who also sell computers and parts or services, such as Amigakit.com, Amiga Center France, Amiga Super Bit in Spain, Amiga City in Belgium, or Amiga Innovations in Perth, but we haven't had threads about those companies or people sending emails to Amiga Inc to get them shut down (or maybe they have, I dont know)

Nope.  Still there.  And still selling Amigas.
