Amiga Patents
« on: August 16, 2007, 06:35:25 PM »
Following on from this:

http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9595_22-515585.html

Can anyone tell me exactly what the 47 patents are/were/for?

Is there a definitive list, or somewhere I can look them up?

Thanks

Jason

Look for the US Patent Website. You can do searches within its DB. I imagine you would have to look for whatever Amiga inc was operating as a business name under.

47 patents?
I guess some of them must have expired since that article was written.

USPTO search for Amiga only comes up with 16, and half of those are assigned to 'Amiga Development LLC', which IIRC is still part of Gateway, dunno if the Gateway/Amino deal involved those patents?

Edit:
 Oops, silly me, there's another 9 assigned to Commodore Electronics Ltd.
On schedule, and suing

I suppose there could also be patents listed under Escom, but I'm not interested enough to hunt down 47 patents haha.
