Amiga Inc sues Hyperion VOF for trademark infringement

[Tron2k2]

well this is an interesting thing.  I dunno though, this is getting pretty negative.  Wayne, you gonna mod this thread like mine?  I mean, people are bashing Amiga here!!  Have Amiga's lawyers called you yet to inform you of the 'incorrectness' of this news like in my thread which disappeared?

I'm not really bitter about having my thread removed, but now that Amiga somehow found some money they do seem to be throwing their legal weight around with lawyers and such.  Couldn't they be spending this money on, I dunno, actually developing a product? Or maybe *wait for it..* possibly paying their debts?

Just a thought.  I'll take my negativity and STFU now...

I don't know, I always liked Hyperion, they always seemed like decent guys.  They were certainly champing at the bit to do OS 4 back when I was at Amiga, and Amiga didn't mind letting them.

But what makes me wonder is, if AI V1.0 (the Washington State ones, who are now closed and legally don't have to service their debts) are gone and the contract was with them, then, why is it still valid now with Amiga V2.0?

In my case, I'm having difficulties collecting because technically it was a different company.  So, shouldn't the same rules apply?  Technically, it was a different company that made the contract with Hyperion.

There are so many twists and turns, its like this company/companies were designed specifically to make lawyers rich!
