Infringement of AmigaOS trademark

[vox]

Some lamer phone company is infringing Hyperion's AmigaOS trademark with their so-called "AmigoOS" operating system:

Has this been brought to Hyperion's attention? IANAL, but it look to me like a clear case of trademark infringement, in the same way Lindows was deemed to be an infringement of the Windows trademark. There's a requirement to defend trademarks in situations such as this or they become diluted and eventually invalid.

No its Amigo OS ... You did it more with Blue Balls.

It's Amigo OS. male.  Amiga OS is female.  Maybe they should get together and produce some offspring.

Amigi OS? I don`t mind it as long as we reach magic number 5.0 :smack:

Wasn't it CommodoreUSA who was after people using the amiga name?
I seem to remember the Daddy being told to remove any reference to amiga in, at least, one video.
And didn't Aros change the meaning of aros before they were told to?

Yes, they did that to Daddy. Big holders of no name.

AROS ditched from Amiga Research to just AROS to avoid such assess.

Actually, they didnt stop me.  I stopped myself because I realized what an incredible dead end it was.  Sure, I could have cashed in on nostalgia but seeing how Amiga Inc and Hyperion had abused and misrepresented the brand it was a dead end.  Could I rebuild A brand called Amiga?  Sure but that would take a lot of effort, money, and time.  And in order to be totally independant of the screwball that represent AmigaOS now, I would have to wait for both companies to die and as long as they just have enough to keep a domain name and a post office box, then I would be associated with them and both would have to be gone to establish disassociation.

AmigaOS, AmigaOne are eligible for trademark, they are unique descriptors.  You cannot trademark generic terms or generic objects, like a checkered ball.  Used all over the place, the word Amiga is a generic term for female friend, you cant trademark that and besides in the US the trademarks are dead and they would be invalidated.

I have offered Mr. Cohen and Mr. Hermans ample oppurtunity to go to court with me and lets put it to the test, as of yet they are unwilling to do that.

Go ahead and shake your chains, make your claims.  Its not going to change the facts.  You are free to live in whatever  alternate reality you would like.

Its not your call. In fact, YOU ARE another case of abuse.
