Commodore trademark has a new daddy

[takemehomegrandma]

On Dec 22, 2011 Commodore USA, LLC and Amiga Inc. signed a new contract granting us EXCLUSIVE WORLDWIDE rights to ALL format computers branded with the Amiga trademark IP. These registered trademarked logos include the BOING Ball, TIC/Check mark, letter A and the word AMIGA logos. Form factors include, but are not limited to Desktop, HTPC, Tower, AIO/ Keyboard etc.

This contract will run through Dec 31, 2018, with optional renewals. Additionally we have been granted the right to enforce the Amiga trademark IP, in instances where we feel the trademark property has been either used in an unauthorized manner or in a form not allowed under current international and US law.

Bring more popcorn!

2012 will be the Year of the Amiga!

:lol:

I'm not a native English speaker, so could you please clarify if you claim to have an exclusive license to use the Boingball image? That would directly contradict AInc's settlement with Hyperion, that's why I'm asking.

Hyperion's contract with Amiga Inc grants them (during the lifetime of the contract) the exclusive right to use the marks "AmigaOne", "Amiga One", "AmigaOS" and "Amiga OS" for their OS4 and the hardware meant for it, but *nothing else*. And that's *all* they have exclusive! They can't call their products "Amiga 500" for example, and *certainly not* the plain word "Amiga" either, that's a no-no. Hyperion does also have the right to use the Boing Ball for this particular area of use (marketing OS4 and the HW meant for it *only*) as well, but that is a *non-exclusive* right.

See the "Definitions (g) Exclusive Licensed Marks" and "1. Grant (C)" sections of the Amiga Inc / Hyperion settlement
