Australia != USA. Is Amiga internationally registered trademark? Because if Amiga trademark (for computers) is registered trademark in the USA only then Amiga Inc lose.

@plaz

Amiga Inc owns both Amiga trademarks for software and hardware (look US patents office). The question is do they have a registered trademark in Australia and if they do it must cover computers...

However I would assume Commodore registered Amiga trademark in Australia and it was transfered to Gateway->Amiga Inc->KMOS->New Amiga Inc (keeping a trademark alive costs almost nothing).

(Edit) Here it is:

Word: AMIGA
Owner/s:  Amiga, Inc.,
 a Washington Corporation
 24403 256th Avenue SE
 PO Box 887
 Ravensdale, WA 98051
 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Class: 9 Computers and computer peripherals, and parts, accessories, components and fittings therefor; computer programs and software

Found from ipaustralia service.

Amiga Innovations being computer store abuse Amiga trademark too.

Lando here I see the sell computers that they call Amiga, my e-mail wasnt referring to other things that they may sell. I think it is misleading naming the computer they sell Amiga as it would be if it was called Atari or Apple.


But but... what if they already licensed Amiga trademark from AI and have AROS running on their computers? It is not impossible ;-)
