Is this the lawsuit where Bill Buck wanted the AmigaDE for hardware they never made?
Yep, sounds like a pointless lawsuit designed to bleed the competition dry. Bill Buck has lots more money than Amiga, Inc (or at least, he believes he does), so he doesn't care that he'll lose the lawsuit. The *real* plan is to drag it out long enough to bankrupt Amiga, so he'll be able to buy the rights to The Name nice and cheap. He'll have lost the battle, but won the war.
It's not illegal, so it's OK, right? ;-)
